[Erick Estrada]

Good game for Irving to start. I believe the last time the Flames won in this building Karlsson got the start so maybe that's a good omen as for whatever reason this building seems to suck the life out of the Flames.

[You Need a Thneed]

16-14 Flams.

[Bertuzzied]

You'd think he was drafted in 1992 from this pic.

Flames get bitchslapped 2-1 in OT by the BJs.

[jlh2640]

Have faith in Iriving, however the Flames Columbus effort of old will show up.

3 - 1 Jackets

[kermitology]

1-1 late in the third, then Irving gets left hanging in the wind. 3-1 Jackets with an EN at the end.

[badger89]

Columbus has a pretty fast team. Should be an entertaining game. 6-3 Flames.

[Itse]

I want to put an optimistic prediction out there. 5-0 Flames.

I guess you could call this another must-win game, but I have a good feeling about it anyway. We don't need Irving to play lights out, and while all goalies sometimes have bad nights, I strongly believe that he can handle being a starting goalie for a few games.

What I want is another game like Detroit. It's not enough to beat Columbus every night, because even bad NHL teams can play pretty good sometimes, but it's certainly good enough to beat them most nights.

can't stop laughing at this one

[Poe969]

We already won this week, BJ's take this one and it's sloppy.

3-1 BJ's

[FBI]

Oh no! Hd didn't call them flams this time

[red sky]

That is probably the best collection of photos for any GDT that I have seen. The faces are priceless!

[Domoic]

I think I am in the extreme minority, but just given recent playing time, I think Taylor gives us a better chance to win tonight than Irving does.

[tvp2003]

3-0 Flames.

Erixon -2 :)

[handgroen]

I'm craving a gif-stacked PGT soooo bad.
Make it happen flames!
Cervenka pops his cherry tonight BTW

[Bertuzzied]

Cervenka pops his cherry tonight BTW

I thought we were playing the BJs tonite and not the Predators.

[Henry Fool]

Detroit game was relatively promising, but I'm still not giving them any benefit of doubt until they're actually putting enough wins together.

If the primary scoring continues to improve, then they have a good chance. It's nice to get excited about the Stempniaks and Hudlers, but it's Iginla, Tanguay, Cammalleri who will have to win most of the games for the team.

[Huntingwhale]

I'm hoping for a good effort and strong game against the BJs. If this was still Sutter coaching I would predict a 4-1 loss...but with Hartley at the helm we can always count on a strong team effort. 3-0 for the good guys, Irving with his first career shutout!

[Icon]

5-1 BJs :(

[Anduril]

4-3 Flames in OT

[vilzeh]

I have a bad feeling about this, but I've watched 2 full games of Flames hockey this year and they have won both, and I'm gonna watch tonight also, so np, we got this.

It's either 4-2 for us or 1-3 to them!

[Street Pharmacist]

Wow. Columbus was 3-0-1 last year against us. Wow

[handgroen]

I thought we were playing the BJs tonite and not the Predators.Correction -Cervenka gets a BJ tonight BTW

[gargamel]

For years, it seems like the Flames have felt that they're all entitled to a rest day if Kipper gets one. It will be interesting to see if that's still the case. I think/hope that Hartley's influence and/or the fact that, even though he's the backup, Irving is our #1 healthy option, leads to a complete effort tonight. If we get that, we'll get the 2 points.

[keenan87]

I am going with a big 6-2 win tonight.

Iggy, Cervenka, Backlund x2, Cammalleri, Jones

[indes]

Irving is lights out, 4-2 flames

[Flames89]

HD, in your team stat comparison, you have the Flames going 373-1-7 in the last ten

[bubbsy]

Flames <must> win!

[1stLand]

7 - 2 Flames

Iginla 2 Goals
Cammy 1 Goal
Tanguay 1 Goal
Cervenka 2 Goals
Wideman 1 Goal

[JBR]

Kerr - "Leland, how many saves will you make tonight?"

Irving - "Whatever I feel like saving, gosh!"

[Galakanokis]

Flames continue their strong play and walk away with a convincing 4-1 victory. Backlund, Glencross and Stempniak break out his game with 2 goals and really control the offensive zone.

Irving lets in a weak early one but really settles down as the team rallies around him limiting CBJ to 21 shots.

[kyuss275]

Big game for the flames and big game for Irving. Need Irving to have a solid game. Don't want Feaster to hit panic button and trade assets for a back up goalie.

Flames win 4-1.

Iggy, Cammi, Hudler and Gio with goals.

[Calgary4LIfe]

Flames win 9-5. Cammy and Iginla both with 2. Backlund with a hat trick, Snickers with one, and Stajan with one.

[Enoch Root]

For years, it seems like the Flames have felt that they're all entitled to a rest day if Kipper gets one. It will be interesting to see if that's still the case. I think/hope that Hartley's influence and/or the fact that, even though he's the backup, Irving is our #1 healthy option, leads to a complete effort tonight. If we get that, we'll get the 2 points.
I don't think that's the case at all, I think it was more the case that, when the backup was in, they were trying to be more careful, more defensive. The result was spending the whole night in their own end.

It will be interesting to see if they play the same up-tempo game tonight that we have seen recently, or if they revert.

Bottomline: they have to put up a W with the backup in there. Better for Irving and everyone concerned if they win 9-8 than if they lose 1-0 in OT.

[Locke]

This one is going to be so sloppy they BJ's are going to have to wipe their chin afterwards.

[IgiTang]

Irving is lights out, 4-2 flames

Uhhh... Lights out means a shutout... The light doesnt turn on, lights out. 2 goals against is NOT lights out.

Flames win 4-3 OT, Stempniak gets OT winner. Hudler 2 goals.

[spiteface]

whats the word on sven?

[Komskies]

I'll be out and won't get to watch the game, so that mean we're definitely going to win tonight.

[Roof-Daddy]

I hope we win, and I hope Irving plays great.

I find myself really looking forward to watching this team play. Not anywhere near as many prolonged fire drills in their own end, lots of puck possession, shots, offensive chances and control of the play.

Go Flames!

[neo45]

Boll already has 6 fights, that is just insane

[CaptainCrunch]

The bottom falls out on the Jackets

Flames win 4-1

Hope he plays. His game is starting to come around. If Cammi is out Comeau will probably get a bump to top 9.

[renny]

http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7141/6520733741_ea9053d3b1_o.jpg

I still remember when we drafted him... my first thought was "OMG WE DRAFTED AN ACCOUNANT!!"

[Street Pharmacist]

Ffs. Knew injuries would be an issue, but seems like Cammi and Iggy are battling something. Sven out and Kipper out. Yikes

[Joborule]

Hoping for a good game. Expecting fair number of goals for both sides but Flames come out on top.

[Rhettzky]

Uhhh... Lights out means a shutout... The light doesnt turn on, lights out. 2 goals against is NOT lights out.

Playing "lights-out" just means to have a great performance. Has nothing to do with hockey specifically.

[Yoho]

Jackets always play us tough 4-3 Flames in a shoot out

[3thirty]

4-2 Flames
Iggy
Cammalleri
Backlund
Hudler

[Street Pharmacist]

Another good game to prove if this incarnation of the flams is in fact different. Columbus is 5-2-3 in the last 10 games against us. I doubt they have a better record against anyone in that span. Flams would win against Detroit and lose to Columbus. Time to show us how you play against weaker competition boys!

[Bertuzzied]

I still remember when we drafted him... my first thought was "OMG WE DRAFTED AN ACCOUNANT!!"

Or a mini Blake Griffin.

[UKflames]

A nice early midnight start for me means I get to watch a live game instead of avoiding all media the day after a game until I get chance to watch.

If we put in the same effort we did against the wings and don't try to protect Irving too much we will win a close one, I say 3-2 flames.

[mrkajz44]

Jackets always play us tough 4-3 Flames in a shoot out

The most adventurous prediction in Calgary. A shootout win.

[Northendzone]

i like BJ's; however, I think the flames step up and win this critical game. I am not giving a score because I just don't know - but I am having this lucky throbbing feeling and usually that means precipitation will fall or the flames will win....

[1stLand]

did we all just forget about sven?
hes just the flames most highly touted prospect.
wtf

[Street Pharmacist]

He's injured, so I'm not sure why he'd be mentioned here...in a GDT

[AC]

wtf
Yes and he's still week-to-week, whats your point?

[Huntingwhale]

Wow. Columbus was 3-0-1 last year against us. Wow

That stat makes me sick to my stomach. If we would have won that series and that stupid Islanders game, we would have made the playoffs. Same thing with the season before. FFS, Flames better take this one!

[MissTeeks]

Randy Sportak ‏@SUNRandySportak#Flames (https://twitter.com/search?q=%23Flames&src=hash)

LW Michael Cammalleri is a game-time decision tonight versus the Blue Jackets.

[ComixZone]

Cammalleri a game-time decision. Kiprusoff out. Baertschi (still) out.

I have a feeling Brandon Dubinsky and company will be a bit of an issue for our local sports club this evening.

[Flames89]

I still remember when we drafted him... my first thought was "OMG WE DRAFTED AN ACCOUNANT!!"

IIRC,
Irving had cancer as a kid and was treated with a long dose of chemotherapy, after which his hair was never quite the same.

http://theahl.com/cancer-free-irving-raises-awareness-p176613

(can't find article where he blames his frizzy hair on that)

[Street Pharmacist]

IIRC,
Irving had cancer as a kid and was treated with a long dose of chemotherapy, after which his hair was never quite the same.

They ran out of hair for a transplant and made the unfortunate decision to use Velcro...

[EddyBeers]

For me this is more a statement game than any other game the Flames have had this season. Historically (with the exception of Edmonton) the Flames usually seem to throw up a dud against inferior competition. For that reason I am going to say they lose 3-2, hopefully I am wrong.

[miraisoup]

‏@NHLFlames
As per #Flames head coach Bob Hartley, Mike Cammalleri will be a game-time decision tonight. #CGYCBJ

[Igster]

I like 5:00 starts. Work until 5. Takes about 20 minutes to get home. PVRing the game. Allows me to skip at least the fist "brown bananas".

[Bertuzzied]

Ridiculous Dubinsky got a $10k fine and not any games. Colin Campbell must be back.

[fuffalo]

What happened to cammy?

[Vinny01]

I hope Cammy is alright his game was turning around

[Change of Heart]

Flames win 4-2. Iggy, Scoreface, Hudler and Brodie

[edn88]

I think that Mike was definitely coming into form. His pass to Glencross on the power play goal was a very high skill play. Hope it is minor, and he plays tonight.

[polak]

Hopefully this is over by 9 cause I have more important things too watch :)

4-3 Flames.

Backlund with 2. Irving sloppy.

3-2 Jackets.

[dammage79]

They're missing their key ingredient for shootouts......Nash.

[Bourque's Twin]

My prediction, 2-0 Flames.
Irving stops all 22 shots.
Tangy and Glencross.

[Miniac]

My prediction, 2-0 Flames.
Irving stops all 22 shots.
Tangy and Glencross.

And Tom goes -2 :D

[sa226]

Going to be interesting to see if the teams psyche has changed at all with the new coaching staff and philosophies. Historically, we have always played down to other teams levels, and played up to others.

This is the first "bad" team we have played. Lets see if they play down to them.

The Oilers don't count as that is a rivalry. I guess the Avs could count, and while that 3rd was bad, we generally outplayed them.

[MyFlamesFirst]

Yikes. Hope Cammy is okay. He has really picked it up the last couple of games and would like to seem him continue to build on this. Also flames light up the Jackets 6-1!!

[EverfresH15]

We are going to get off to another quick start with a Hudler snipe. CLB will tie it up in the second on a Butler miscue. Backlund will put us ahead for good and Glencross with and empty netter.

3-1 Flames 1star to Leland 2star to Mason 3star to Backlund

[Five-hole]

I think we'll see a tentative first by the Flames but we rally and it's a close game all the way through. 3-2, not sure for who.

[vektor]

I think we win this one, best under 500 team in the league right now. If the Flames play like they did against Chicago and Detroit they'll demolish CBJ. This years team is different than last, they try and don't suck as hard

Ryan Murray D 01/10/2013 is on injured reserve and will miss the entire season IR shoulder surgery
Nikita Nikitin D 01/30/2013 is on injured reserve IR head
James Wisniewski D 02/04/2013 is out indefinitely Out concussion
Flames should be scoring at least four goals...

I'll say 5-0 Flames with Irving stealing the show.

[Erick Estrada]

They're missing their key ingredient for shootouts......Nash.

Well they may be without the main ingredient but at least they still have ingredients. The Flames shootout mixing bowl contains Tanguay and no other ingredients. If Tangs doesn't score the Flames have no chance at winning a shootout.

[Huntingwhale]

IIRC,
Irving had cancer as a kid and was treated with a long dose of chemotherapy, after which his hair was never quite the same.

Interesting, I never knew he had to battle cancer at such a young age. That's going to make me like/cheer for him even more!

[Flash Walken]

Well they may be without the main ingredient but at least they still have ingredients. The Flames shootout mixing bowl contains Tanguay and no other ingredients. If Tangs doesn't score the Flames have no chance at winning a shootout.

I don't think that is true.

Look at vancouver. Burrows is their only definite in the shoot out because he is money with that stupid move.

I bet guys like Brodie and Derek smith have a couple flashy moves. Ability and puck skill.

Most of the time I think it's all about having a move and just going for it. If you miss, you miss.

When I watch toews, tanguay, etc, they all dictate and force the goalie to open something up. Iginla, with that sweeeeeeeeeeeet dangle on luigi was the same thing. Same with joker and his 5 hole move. They all came in though with a single distinct move in their head before the goalie presents anything.

[kermitology]

I miss when Tanguay would just seem to fake a deke and fire it top corner glove side. He was complete money for like 10 shootouts doing that move.

[Redliner]

That is a seriously sweet 'fro on Irving. We win just because of that.

3-1 Flams.

[Flash Walken]

[calgaryred]

picking 2-1 Flames

[you got PHANUEFED]

2-1 BJ's

[Lobotroth]

Irving looks like Wheels from Degrassi in that pic.

Flames win this easily and handily 6 -2.

[dissentowner]

15-0 Flames. Cervenka, Hudler, Iginla, Wideman, and Glencross all get hat tricks.

[Pierre "Monster" McGuire]

I think the Flames will follow tradition and allow 42 shots against Irving. Leland will stand tall and stop 40 of them for the 4-2 win.

Iginla, Glencross, Wideman, Cervenka with the goals.

[Jbo]

Just play like you have been the last couple games and we win

[MisterJoji]

Flames always seem to put up a crap effort in Columbus, but Irving impresses everyone and keeps them in it. 2-1 Flames in OT. Goals by Backlund, Cervenka.

[YYC in LAX]

Just give me one of them ol' fashioned up 5-0 in the first period kinda games eh fellas? Just sit back, relax, and enjoy the win. Oh Iriving let's 2 goals in, in the 2nd period? Oh that's right, I don't care cause we're up 6-2 right now.

Then Iggy goes all slappy clappy happy and finishes it off with the 7th goal and we win 7-3. Oh my giny's tinglin' here boys!

[t-bag22]

Lets go flames. Two in a row!!

[Bingo]

I'm with many ... really curious to see if they can walk out a third straight solid performance, this time against a weaker opponent.

They do that and I'd surmise that they've bought into Hartley like they've bought into nobody since Sutter the 1st.

Would be a pretty good sign.

Plus two wins, and then you can drop a Vancouver game to conclude a successful trip and then hopefully get Kiprusoff back for Monday.

Fingers crossed.

haha. i totally forgot about Brian.

No Rich is the 1st Sutter to be with the Flames.

Holy crap. If calgarypuck existed back then, I would have been banned 10 times over with Brian Sutter as our coach.

[AC]

No Rich is the 1st Sutter to be with the Flames.
In what capacity?

From Wikipedia:
"Rich is the only Sutter brother to have neither played for nor worked for the Flames."

Ron (his twin) played for us if that's what you mean.

[To Be Quite Honest]

Flames win. You don't play this good and lose only to win one and start losing again.

[Neeper]

I am convinced that this team is a really good team. They will give the BJ's fits all night. Irving doesn't even have to work that hard tonight for his first win of the year.

5-2 Flames.

It's probably best that Jackman is in tonight as they're playing one of the toughest teams in the NHL. Jared Boll and Derek Dorsett need to be kept in check and I think Begin and Jackman can at least slow them down a bit.
