Come onnnn 4th pick

[Goodlad]

Johnathon Toews is a +28 on the season?! That is pretty impressive.

Baertschi with an 8 game scoring streak to end the season would be pretty dominant for confidence for next year as well..

In my experience, games broadcast on TSN are usually pretty grim. Couple that with few NHLers, the best team in the league and little for the Flames to play for.....

9-1 Blackhawks.

9-1 Blackhawks.

They're the ones that will likely talk about the oilers or leafs in the first intermission, correct?

[Samiz]

5-2 Hawk

Sven with 2 points

Put in a good effort to finish the season but winning won't do us any favours, so will cope with a loss if that is the result.

I am more worried about the OOT scoreboard to be honest, we need the hockey gods on our side for the next 4 days.

[polak]

Play the full game with goalie pulled please and thank you.

What? You didnt like Rog's little dig at Feaster about this offseason's 'Oil Change?'

That was hilarious.

[HPLovecraft]

Thank God this is over.

By the sounds of Hartley's post-game interview last night, we're going to be seeing a lot of the kids in the lineup tonight. If it's anything like the roster from the Nashville game, this one could get ugly.

We could hear Chelsea Dagger so much people will think they're watching a Canucks playoff game.

Unfortunately for me, I have to work a 3 to 11pm shift tonight, so won't be able to hang out on the GT tonight.

From a Chicago fan POV, there is hope that Q scratches some regulars tonight and tommorrow (vs. St. Loo)...I expect Hossa, Sharp, Crawford and Keith to sit tonight...I don't want Backes slapping around Toews tommorrow, so hopefully, Toews, Kane, Seabrook, Sharp and Crawford grab bench on Saturday (vs. a more physical Blues team (with a dirtbag Backes, who took a few runs at Toews in the last meeting)).

With Emery battling a groin issue, I wouldn't be surprised to see Carter Hutton make an NHL debut tonight, in the 'Hawks' goal.

A game with nothing on the line, this game probably will look like a non-contact practice...so I expect a lot of scoring chances to be traded.

For 'Hawk fans, the shortened season has been a thrilling sprint...and at this point, player health going into the playoffs is far more important than on ice performance in these last two games for us.

As a Cub fan, I can sympathise with Flame fans, and the dissapointment of an underperforming home team, and the difficulty of watching yet another failed season. Unlike the Cubs, I expect the Flames will be able to improve in the 2013-14 campaign...In baseball, quick turnarounds via the draft almost never occur...in Hockey, there is, at least, hope.

I see that many of you Flame fans are picking my guys tonight, and I wonder if it is a "fail to get better draft" position hopes. I disagree with a team tanking...for the Cubs it is a "cursed franchise" thing, and they have shown no ability to improve via any means, anyway...for the 'Hawks, getting Toews and Kane in consecutive drafts wasn't really due to players tanking on ice, but rather, an inept organization from top to bottom...I am shocked that those drafts even yielded anything, as the 'Hawk draft history had never inspired confidence before in the team history.

Bottom line, I am not really sure what my Flame friends hope for in this season ending game...but I expect it to be more of a loosely played scrimmage with a rook goaltender than a tightly played, competative, contest, and predicting a final score in the game is going to be a most inaccurate science...I just expect a lot of goals for both teams

I like it and it's probably because I hate the Canucks so much. Not the song; your post

Tonight i think it will be different. They have wanted the flames to rebuild for many years, and tonight they can finally talk about it. Could be interesting if they try and dissect what Feaster said last night.

Don't get me wrong they will talk about Oilers and Leafs, but i think there will be a big section on the flames future on tonights intermission show.

Imagine if Pittsburgh took him instead of Staal.

Crosby, Malkin, and Towes.

[Icon]

Sven with a hatty to finish the season.

Flames lose 7-3.

[kyuss275]

Going to be interesting to see the rosters for both teams. Hope Chicago goes with full roster and sits everybody on Saturday night.

[carom]

Go flames go, I think.

Thanks HD for all the GDTs this year, always appreciated.

Going to watch the game tonight, not too concerned if it is entertaining as I am going to see "The Book of Mormon" right now. Maybe the laughs will continue with the game after.
