i have a bad feeling about this

[Frank MetaMusil]

Chicago is racking up 3.42 G/G to Calgary's 2.12. No coincidence that the bottom 3 teams in the West are also the bottom 3 in GF.

This could be a bad one....I really hope the Flames put up at least 3 goals.

[Erick Estrada]

I know this script;

Flames start off the game well getting some chances and outplaying the Hawks. Out of nowhere the Hawks score the first goal and then it's all downhill from there.

Normally I wouldn't be optimistic about this game. But my daughter turns 1 tomorrow. Almost exactly a year ago, my daughter was born, on that same day, the Flames thumped the Hawks pretty solidly, something like 7-1 if I remember. Can only hope it is a good luck sign!

[Poe969]

Not looking forward to this one.... like most other ones. The hawks look like they're actually starting to play some good hockey.

The only thing I wanna see is a good effort by the kids

[ClubFlames]

Its hard to have faith in this team after their recent performances. Hoping for a win but I know it won't happen.

5-2 Hawks.

[HPLovecraft]

I fear this game.

[Heavy Jack]

I dunno. Of the two teams, one gets shutout tonight.

[Frank MetaMusil]

I hope this is the game where the PP gets going. Chicago being ranked 27th on the PK gives a sliver of hope.

[Mass_nerder]

I would love to see a Flames win tonight, unfortunately, I don't see that happening with the way we've been playing lately.
I hope they can at least get a PP goal...little steps

[FakenHaken]

5 - 1 Chicago, and another closed door players meeting to follow after the game for Calgary.

Jay Feaster slams fist in the pressbox and the Coke and Popcorn starts falling from above.

Brent Sutter pulls a McTavish and pulls out Harvey's Tongue after the 5th goal.

[PeteLFan]

8-0 Chicago

[OilKiller]

Have a feeling this is going to be a bloodbath. Flames get beat badly. Hope I'm wrong.

[North East Goon]

Chicago is back to being top contenders for the cup again. Calgary....not so much! This will be a major wake up call 7-1 Chicago!

[Timbo]

It's win time... why? No one expects it that's why.

Flames 4-2

Bork with a duece
Ollie
Byron

Don't think that feeling is unique. We had trouble with this team when we were good....the way we're playing now, we're going to get torn up.

Went to a Flames/Blackhawks game last season in November in which the Flames stomped the Hawks 7 -2. So I'm hoping for the same tonight as I'm also attending this game, AND I've got my lucky sweater, which works about 50% of the time.

Seabrook went into the boards skates first a couple games ago, and hasn't played since, Frolik tumbled shoulder first into the boards vs. the Canucks. The 'Hawks are usually pretty secretive about injury status, but, I would not be surprised to see both sit out tonght. The 6 d-men used in BC, Keith/Hjammer/Montador/Leddy/Lepisto/Scott. Called up from the AHL Icehogs, Ben Smith, wouldn't be surprised to see him slotted with Bolland and Bickell for Frolik, on the 3rd line.

There is some excitment over Smith among 'Hawk fans, and we are interested in seeing him at the next level, but, Frolik has been tremendous on Bolland's line, which Q sends out against opponent top lines.

Gotta travel to Southern Utah today, so won't be able to watch the game or exchange thoughts with you fine Flame fans for either 'Hawk game in Alberta...(they play in Edmonton tommorrow night)...but I expect a small let down by the 'Hawks after spanking Vancouver.
