Once the festivities end, then the game will begin.
The Calgary Flames are back at home in the Scotiabank Saddledome taking on the Minnesota Wild on Hockey Night in Canada.
Projected starters are David Rittich for the Flames and Devan Dubnyk for the Wild.

The Flames have won their last seven games and currently sit seven points up on San Jose in the Western Conference.
The Wild are on a hot streak of their own having won their four. The Wild currently hold down one of the wildcard spots with a 31-27-6-68 record.
Zach Parise leads the Devils with 24 goals; Ryan Suter has the most assists with 34 and Jared Spurgeon is leading the way in the +/- column at a +7.
If you mash the buttons on your remote control you’ll find this game, it’s being broadcast on: CBC, City, SportsNet 1, SportsNet East, SportsNet Ontario, SportsNet West, SportsNet Pascific, and SportsNet 360.
Here’s to you Jarome! I’m honoured that I got to see you play in person twice. You are unquestionably deserving of this honour, and I’m glad to know that no Flame will ever wear the number 12 again.
That said, let’s not lose focus on the game at hand.
I'm toying with the idea of using an infographic rather than a write-up. Thoughts?
