I expect... a game to be played tonight.
Hopefully it is entertaining. I think losing to Chicago's AHL affiliate and being embarrassed, I think the Flames will really come out hard. However, I felt that they would do the same thing after losing to the Flyers.
From Ottawa's side, the pressure is really on them. They are rested, and they can't afford to lose yet another game. They have to show their fanbase that this team that they built - and declared ready to compete - can actually win games. They have been terrible, though their goal differential isn't so bad. 4 -11 on the road - that's terrible. Also they are the only team in the NHL without a loser point.
I have no idea what to expect. A bloodbath tonight considering where both teams are? Or will it be two toddlers pretending to fight until one of them falls down? I will be tuning-in to find out!
