I’m excited for this one. My hope is for the Flames to grind out a 2006 era Sutter style win…1-0 or 2-1 and leave the Oiler fans and CBC/Rogers hype machine bored and disappointed.

My guess, is that the Flames come out hard, play fast and physical, but have trouble finishing. Oilers will have opportunities on their power play and matchups and Markstrom will have to be the games first star to keep the game close.

Go Flames Go!!!
