Three takeaways as Flames fall in shootout against Canucks, lose Backlund to injury

What would hurt more than blowing a late lead to lose to your closest rival in the wild-card chase, missing an opportunity to claim a three-point cushion and instead allowing them to pull even in the quest for the eighth seed?

Five potential impacts of an injury to Flames captain Mikael Backlund

You certainly get the feeling the Calgary Flames, while their fingers remain crossed, are bracing to be without their captain and best defensive forward for at least a little while.

Hope for the best, prepare for the worst.

[Goriders]

A little worried about this one. But everytime I say that they win. So no idea.

Wondering who fills in for Backlund and Zary

[Vinsta13]

Go Flames Go!

[Cali Panthers Fan]

Missing Zary and possibly Backlund.

Likely a loss, so of course the Flames will squeak out a win to defy expectations yet again.

This is the way.

[Toonage]

Seriously, if they can get 2 or 3 points out of the next 3 games? I'd consider that a win all things considered.

[Erick Estrada]

The Avs do seem like a bad matchup for the Flames with their skill and speed and missing Backlund and Zary means that some players other than Kadri and Huberdeau will have to show up.

[WhiteTiger]

Go Flames go!

[indes]

Taking my 9yr son to his first game at the saddledome for his birthday and my first game there in 20 years. Will be nice to be surrounded by Flames fans for once!

If there's any recommendations to make the night extra special I'll gladly take them!

If you go early, bring a sign and get along the glass.. my son has gotten pucks from players our last 2 games..

Also, if you are able to brave the cold, some players will pull over when leaving the players parking lot and sign autos.. (maybe not the best weather tho)

[dissentowner]

I don't like our chances in this one at all. Stranger things have happened though.

[TheIronMaiden]

I'd love to see the Flames play hard 60 minutes.
The result of the game is second to that.

The Avs haven't looked the best since all those big moves.

They are 3-0-1 in their last 4 including a 7-4 stomping of the Leafs and a 7-3 thrashing of Sanjo.

I honestly can't tell if that's supposed to be green text.

[TheIronMaiden]

If the Flames win tonight they're only 5 points back of the Oilers.

[getbak]

Since the 4 Nations, Colorado has won all of their home games and lost all of their road games.

[Ba'alzamon]

Wait. There's a player named Oliphant?

Why was I not aware of this?

[VANFLAMESFAN]

Worried about tonight. If flames lose, Canucks have two this weekend against CHI and Utah. Flames could be four back of playoff bar before they play next in Toronto on Monday.

Wednesday’s loss stings that much more now.

[savardandjokinen]

Looks like we’ve called up Hunt
