WHY WATCH?

ON A ROLL

Elias Lindholm has scored in eight straight, equalling the longest goal streak in Flames’ franchise history. He has a shot Thursday to claim that record all to himself. Lindholm extended his red-hot run with a deft deflection in the final minute of Monday’s 3-1 victory over the Winnipeg Jets. That marked his third consecutive winner. The Flames are riding a 10-game sizzler and their top-line centre — the NHL’s reigning first star of the week — has piled up 16 points over that span.

This almost seems like it could be a "trap" game if the Flames aren't careful. The last match against Vancouver was quite close.

We want 11! We want 11! Go Flames!

[Erick Estrada]

Hopefully Toffoli can light up the Canucks for the Flames like he did as a Hab.

Well they arent going to win every game remaining.

I could see them dropping this one actually.

May not be the worst thing either. This team needs some adversity to become tougher.

Still hope they pump 5 past Demko and win going away.

MAXIMUM JUJU POST









https://streamable.com/npf0 <-- Make sure you click this link. It's a classic. If I could figure out how to embed a streamable I would do it.


Ok. So. Seven times the Juju has worked. Am I a superstitious freak? Yes. Am I going to continue with the MAX JUJU until it stops working? Also yes. Tonight the boys are gonna set the franchise record win streak at 11. THESE GO TO ELEVEN!!!!

JUJU JUJU JUJU JUJU JUJU JUJU JUJU JUJU MOJO-JOJO

[EM11]

Feels like everyone is holding their breath until they inevitably lose. But I hope its not tonight. Give us eleven!

[Toonage]

I thought the end of the streak might come against the Jets (afternoon game and all) but no. Now? I don't think they'll lose again. Not this month.

Edit : Oh yeah, its also the Canucks black sweaters and weird skate logo against the Flames classic reds. Sweet!

[Rick M.]

Another win for the Good Guys, please.

[Vinny01]

I like the Flames chances tonight. First game with fans for Markstrom, and Tanev in Vancouver. Marky is on fire right now and he is going to be even more motivated. I hope Toffoli lights them up tonight as well.

[keenan87]

Let's go for 11!

Then I would be okay with a 1-1 split with Minnesota.

[Reggie Dunlop]
