icon57 Flames vs Avalanche, 7:00 MDT. Sportsnet West, Fan 960

Home again, home again, jiggety-jig. Fresh from the road and back in the 'Dome, the Flames look to cement a playoff spot as the Avalanche come calling.

The snow, much like the Avs, is on its way out this season. That Darn Puppet, and his pal Calvin, decide to have one last afternoon of snow fun at Colorado's expense:

Spoiler!


Go Flames

My first thought was that Calvin just took a huge, orange, dump on the snowman's face. My second thought was that was fairly apropos, considering Trump has done exactly that to Colorado and the entire US...

But then I realized it's just a carrot-nose.

The key to a game like this - is for the Flames to not assume two points, but to go out and earn two points! GFG!

My keys to the game:

- Score more goals than the other team.
- Allow less goals than the other team.
- Haha, stupid Oilers.

Wes Gilbertson @WesGilbertson
Defenceman Brett Kulak skating at the Saddledome this morning. Has not been recalled, is in town for treatment from #Flames medical staff.

Wes Gilbertson @WesGilbertson
Not sure on the nature of Brett Kulak's injury, but it's a positive sign that he's skating. Hasn't played for AHL Stockton since March 1.

Another gem from the Oilers Board

Oilers and Kings sitting around for 2 days just to make sure the flames get 3 teams in a row on their 2nd of B2B after they leave Edmonton instead of only 2.

This feels like the perfect game to see what Rasmus Andersson can do. Would also inject a little adrenaline into what might be a let down following intense games against high caliber opponents.

Their lack of self awareness on that board is hysterical. Do they not realize the Oilers lead the entire league in the category of playing "tired" teams? 19 times they face teams on a second night of a back to back while only having to play "tired" 8 times.

Flames in comparison are 14/10.

Derp.

Tonight should be a gimme, which means hopefully they won't be looking past it. These points are still super important because damn I want to catch the coilers.

Go Flames Go!

This is a trap game and hopefully the Flames don't fall in it. If the boys go out and play the same way they play against everyone else it should be an easy 2 points. If they go into it thinking this is an easy two points it could end up bad.

NHL players with more points than Gaudreau (5-16-21) since Feb 21 when Ferland joined his line:

1. Kucherov TB, 17-12-29

-- End of List --
Here's to Gaudreau who's been absolutely on fire recently. I'm hoping for a Johnny goal tonight.

Heh, Colorado is so bad this year they were mathematically eliminated from not finishing dead last before 28 other NHL teams were mathematically eliminated from the playoffs.
