Will we win? CGY @ MIN 6PM Sportsnet West
Quote:
FACING THE WILD
The Calgary Flames went 1-2-0 against the Minnesota Wild in the 2015-16 season, picking up a 2-1 win at Xcel Energy Center on Apr. 9, 2016. That win last year at Xcel Energy Center also snapped a four-game slide in Minnesota, though the Flames had taken at least one point in five straight prior to that (3-0-2).
In their last 10 road games against the Wild, the Flames have a 4-4-1-1 record.
ROAD WARRIORS
Tonight's game is Calgary's ninth road tilt of the 2016-17 season and they are 3-4-0-1 away from the Scotiabank Saddledome so far this year. In those eight games, Calgary has the fourth-most hits in the NHL among road teams with 212 and they are sixth among NHL clubs away from home in blocked shots (129).
REINFORCEMENTS HAVE ARRIVED
The injury bug has struck the Flames of late as forwards Kris Versteeg, Lance Bouma, and Matthew Tkachuk have all missed multiple games. Calgary has fortified their ranks up front by recalling Garnet Hathaway, Hunter Shinkaruk and Linden Vey from their AHL affiliate, the Stockton Heat. The trio had helped Stockton to a 6-3-1 record with a Pacific Division-best +13 goal differential.

If they lose, fire everyone. If they win, fire almost everyone.

Thanks for the GDT Ottomatic, but I think a better question than "will we win?" is "will I bother to watch?"

Nope. Another blow out loss. 5-1 Wild. Gulutzan gets out coached once again.

And I see Parise returns tonight against the Flames
Reduces chances of winning this game from say 1% to say 0.1%

Its odd (well, maybe not) that players seem to make their return against the Flames. Ease them in I guess.

I want two things
1) Less than 3 "WTF?!?" moments
2) No drop passes in the neutral zone on the PP (that could fall into #1)

Hopefully Frolik can go.
I dont think Brouwer will be the answer for the top line.

I miss the ATL reports therefore fair question would be? When WILL we get an ATL report?
Hopefully the answer is tonight as it will be unbearable here reading on how Bruce outcoached Glue!

If the last few games (well, the season really) have been a flaming disaster, Our Hero will at least make it amusing for a few minutes:
Go Flames
