As for the Flames, I don't know if they are more resolved or less after that loss yesterday. From just about winning it and embarrassing the Leafs on a historical level, to losing it in a blink of an eye. Hopefully they have the energy for this game.
I am sure Ottawa is feeling a bit better of late, and they see the Flames coming in as a team near the bottom of the standings and coming off a tough game. I am sure they will come out hard right away.
Lose this one, and the heat on the organization turns up a few notches. This should be an 'easy gimmie' for the Flames - as much of a gimmie as there can be in the NHL really - but Ottawa is definitely going to want this game too, and I wouldn't be surprised if this was another first period in which we see the opposing team dictate the game.
Flames 3-2.
