Unless you think it's a foregone conclusion that the flames lose, to which I say booooo. Booooo on you for having no faith. You and Scorpion both.

Of course I have no faith. It's been what ten years now that they have lost every game in that building and they just got handled at home by the Ducks. Mentally I can't think of anything worse than going in there playing a good game and losing like they always do. At least resting players is a build in excuse for losing. I've often thought that the best way to end the streak was to call up some of the top performing Heat players and throw them in with little expectations and maybe some excitement in the dressing room from excited young players not tainted by the curse could get one of those surprising performances.
It was hinted by the coach that some players may sit out and why not this game? They beat the Sharks last week and that's a possible winnable game. The Kings are eliminated and have nothing to play for so that should be winnable. After seeing all the cheap shots by the Ducks on Sunday I feel it's a game that you could sit out Johnny or any other players that may be nursing any injuries as if any player gets hurt from a dirty play in the last three games it may be this one. It's a foregone conclusion now that the team is going to be one of the two wildcards so whether it be the Hawks or the Ducks I think you want to ensure the roster starting the playoffs is as rested and healthy as possible. If the Flames face the Ducks in the opening round then that's when you would want the team to go into that building and blow their wad, not in a somewhat meaningless regular season game.
