Hearing Wideman will be back playing is such a downer.

Nice! 54 is a magic number for linebackers in the NFL, similar to how 9 is a magic number for forwards in the NHL. I'm stoked about that choice.

My prediction: Wideman is on the ice for 3 goals; I just don't know into which team's net. Hopefully, not into our net.

I am not a hockey-expert, so prove me wrong, Wides.

Where are you working? I'm on a pipeline in Dawson Creek.

Am I correct in saying that the team has won every game since Wideman got scratched, and that's when the streak started?

you are correct. His last game was the 2-1 OT loss against Vancouver. Then Stone came in, and they've won all 8 games since then.

You are correct good sir (I feel like I have to address you like that because of your avatar)

[heep223]

Kind of an interesting storyline for the game, he's going to be under a microscope. As will the refs.

I was hoping we'd never see him play another game for the Flames and that they'd give Rasmus a shot.

looks like there is still a decent chance Hamilton might not play

Derek Wills @Fan960Wills
Rasmus Andersson didn't stay on with Freddie Hamilton and Curtis Lazar after #Flames morning skate...so Dougie Hamilton still questionable.

[Roof-Daddy]

The Flames were also 5-2-1 with Wideman in the line up before he got sat down, and that includes wins over Ottawa, Pittsburgh and Minnesota.

Hopefully the Flames have the confidence, goaltending and consistent team play down enough to plug and play for a bit here and still keep winning.

[CGY12]

I hope I'm wrong but I don't like the looks of this. Flames usually play horribly in Winnipeg and the Jets have one of the faster and bigger forward groups in the league. Doesn't bode well for Wideman and potentially Andersson if he draws in.

True.

That said, the team already started turning it around after the previous Montreal game. (The one we lost, after which Gulutzan ripped pretty much the whole team in the postgame, and afterwards they drank those beers on the train). After that, they went 5-1-2 with Wideman still in the lineup.

Actually I would rather the Flames let Dougie rest tonight - just so he heals up properly - without risking any further complications because he tried to come back too soon.

Mind you, they had a decent record the last few games he played as well. Just not an 8 game winning streak. The microscope will be on though. If he he has a good couple shifts, that could set a good tone.

[Racki]

I'd bet my lunch money that Andersson plays tonight and Dougie sits a game. I find it hard to believe that Andersson's mom made the 10 hour flight from Sweden without a pretty good indication that her boy would be in the lineup.

[GioforPM]

As a CP medical diagnostician, if Dougie doesn't play I suspect it's just because they want the stitches to set.

Showing my age, but here's a great base tone. Go Flames Go!

[Otto-matic]

I'm fine with Wideman playing tonight. He'll be hungry to show the team and really the NHL that he still can contribute to the game. Regardless of how I feel about his play in the recent months, he's still a Flames player and i'll cheer for his success.

Huge win for the good guys.


Found this on Twitter, its perfect.
