Final home game of the season! The Flames have already punched their ticket to the post season, so they can just go play! I feel another big two points coming. GFG!
As nice as it is to be clinched into the playoffs the team can't let off just because they are in, positioning is at stake still. Hope they come fired up for their last regular season game at the Dome.

They need to win at least one of the two against Anaheim to keep their chances of finishing above 8th place. This game is inexcusable to lose. They need to win this one.
My guess - Tkachuk, Hamilton and Ferland. Pure speculation of course.
Geez, if that's the case we should start mentally preparing for the Hawks first round. I'm hoping there's a guy or two with some minor bumps that can be rested at any point during the next week and a half.
I really hope it's not like some other years where it turns out half the star player were playing through actual injuries.
I could see that too. I was thinking Hamilton & Stone would sit and Wideman and Andersson would draw in.
Wait, are you speculating injuries or just figuring they'll rest these guys? I highly doubt Flames management is looking to just rest two of our top four defenders when everyone in the bottom half of the west playoffs is trying desperately to avoid 8th place.
I could only see multiple guys being rested in the last one or two games IF they're guaranteed to finish or not finish in 8th.

Winning the division is pretty well impossible because the Flames are 5 points back with 4 games to play. Edmonton finishes the season with two games against Vancouver who have mailed it in.
Rest players, no injuries and get ready for the playoffs is all that matters now.
