He’s been good in the playoffs historically. Going to need lots of traffic and to try to get under his skin.

It was a problem when his gaffes resulted in crushing goals against. And at 40, he isn’t the same goaltender he was three years ago.

And yes, I hope everyone at the Dome does their best to get under his skin. Flames fans, do your part!

Definitely an opportunity for the bars on the Red Mile

Getting pulled is worse for his ego than staying in.

But the dome fans chanting, "leave him in" would be absolutely devastating to his ego.

Pizza Hut has their $5 deal again if you are still undecided about dinner tonight.

Given the dumbness of Oiler fans (and Flames fans who bringing Oiler fans in thinking it will be fine) wandering into the charged up Red Lot, it saves that hassles and altercations with orange and blue jerseys in that powerkeg of crowded enclosed quarters.

People now dispersed and going somewhere along 17th which is already being monitored or, staying home.

[Cecil Terwilliger]

They’re giving away free red bull on 17th by Macleod. As if my heart wasn’t already gonna explode.

Kind of wild to have Premier Kenney resign right before Battle of Alberta. Not related but the timing is crazy.

Flames just need to come out and play hard. Edmonton can't match them if they roll 4 lines, get the puck deep and cycle hard. They are going to come out and try to prove how tough they are after the whistles (the nurse special), so just skate away and hit them clean and hard during the game.

Because they wanted to go I guess. And thought they had a shot.

No Tanev skating

[BoLevi]

Sounds like Tanev is out according to 960.

[gvitaly]

Seems like no Tanev tonight

[Tabaracci_31]

Been waiting my whole life for this! I was 3 during the ‘91 edition, so this is my first legit BOA. I’ve spent many hours of my life rewatching those old series, feeling jealous of everyone who was there. Go Flames Go! We got this!!
