Is this the year Flames break the Honda Center Curse

[Hemi-Cuda]

Nope. Flames will play well , Anaheim will look slow, but somehow the puck will still bounce off of Perry's ass and into the net

I voted yes, the day they traded for Bieksa signalling the end to the curse, and Ferland will score to winning goal to end it.

That irrelevant bum scoring a game winner? Maybe an AHL game winner, if he's lucky.

Isn't it "Ferkland?

[Psytic]

I think our goalie will have to stand on his head and it wont be Hiller in net if we do since they read him like a book. Maybe an Ortio win is possible this year.

[Gaudfather]

Yes the Flames will definitely break the Honda Center curse during the 2015/16 season, but what will be sweeter still is when the Flames win Games 1 and 5 at the Honda Center during the Pacific Division finals to eliminate the Ducks from the SC playoffs!

[Enoch Root]

I think you mean games 3 and 4

[Hockey_Ninja]

No. Because this thread jinxed it.

[Gaskal]

In their first game at the pond this year, the Flames will go down 2-0 early and then come back to win dramatically in overtime.

[You Need a Thneed]

At the end of the season, we'll look back, and realize that this was a silly question to ask.

Calgary will outscore Anaheim 37-1 in the three games at the pond.

I voted no. Because I'm tired of believing they will. I've lost my own will. so no. They will never win there ever again. By next season, they will just start forfeiting the games and spending the time practicing and recovering.

That sounds like Oiler fans before they won the draft lottery and landed McDavid.

That also sounds like Canucks fans 2 years from now.

It's that "losing culture" getting to me

Something that I thought would be a clear sign of improvement would be if we manage to break the Honda Center Curse. It's not enough to say if they win one game there they're going to get the cup, but everyone knows it's been a while and the ducks are honestly one of the strongest teams in the league right now.

The last time the Flames won (unless I've mixed this up) in Anaheim was 26/04/06.. Almost 10 years. So, is this the year the Flames win in that fracking building, what makes you think so?

Very likely. Flames will be a top 10 team in the league this year, and I see them as making the 2nd or even 3rd round at menimem.

Menimem? Come on man
