Halloween night at the dome, expect to see lots of mullets.
My wish for tonight is to see everyone sitting in Ken King's section dress as Nenshi.......
And a flames win
Go flames go
Are you going to cry some more how he is a good coach?

No, because the way the Capitals are built they should beat us. Some of you have gotten to the point where your dislike for the coach has you cheering against the team you are supposed to be a fan of. Bizarre.

Gather 'round, kids. For it's time for a Halloween hockey story...
(apologies to Washington Irving)
Spoiler!
*ahem*
In the bosom of one of those spacious coves which indent the eastern shore of the Rocky Mountains, at that broad expansion of the river denominated the Bow, there lies a small market town which is generally known by the name of Calgary. Within there is a small arena which is one of the quietest places in the whole world. A small brook murmurs past it and, with the occasional whistle of a linesman or dropping of a popcorn bag, is almost the only sound that ever breaks the uniform tranquillity. From the listless repose of the place, this sequestered barn has long been known by the name of Sleepy Saddledome, which abounds with local tales, haunted concourses, and game-night superstitions.
The dominant spirit that haunts this enchanted rink is the apparition of a felt-like figure on horseback without restraint. It is said to be the ghost of a drunken fanatic, whose brains had been carried away by a pint of heroin beer in some nameless battle during the pre-season, and who is ever seen by the faithful, hurrying along in the gloom of the Stampede Grounds. Some allege that the lunatic rides forth to the scene of battle in nightly quest of a win. The spectre is known, at all the CP firesides, by the name of the Senseless Puppet of Sleepy Hollow.

Go Flames
Mr. Puppet. Or I suppose It's Mr. Guy. Kudos to you sir. This is possibly the best you've ever done because of the text included. Thank you. Thank you 1000 times.
Boy does this forum need a win. Sooo many grumpy people around here lately. It's just a game everyone, and we're all cheering for the same team. Don't forget that.

Well said. Thank you.
Watched the Caps game last night and was pretty surprised to see some of the defensive gaps the Caps leave you. This is Johnny territory, so hopefully we see some of the holes they afforded the Coilers.
I also have a lot more faith in Smith than I'd have in Talbot this year. There were a few unstopables mixed into the Caps surge but we have an opportunity to outscore here.
Predicting a strong start, and 1 goal in the first. A strong 2nd, and then weathering the Caps storm in the 3rd.
How can a person find out which practices are open to the public?

I disagree. The Caps got worse in the summer the Flames got better. Caps are not a top 5 team anymore both teams are striving to be top 10.
The Flames trading their unprotected 1st rounder and 2 2nd rounders for a 27 year old Dman is a clear message they want to win. Trading a prospect and likely another 2nd for a 35 year old goalie, while also signing a 45 year old legend is a clear message they want to win right now. The expectation the fans were sold this summer is expect this team to be a contender.
A 6-2 Caps win would take the Flames to 5-7 and 1-5 at the Dome. The panic button could easily be pressed at that point.

Stajan in the 3rd period last game had one shift that really stands out for me and not in a good way.
I think it was the 3rd period with 15 mins left. The 4th line was hemmed in their zone for about 45 seconds and the Flames finally get control from a turnover and he receives an outlet pass on the left side and goes to make a lateral pass to the right side opposing blue line and no one is there, he didn't even look.
Stajan then proceeds to skate into the the opposing zone with no real objective, as his linemates are changing. Because he was the last man, he realized he had to pressure the puck carrier. With very little enthusiasm or energy (because he was likely gassed from his now 1minute shift.
Stajan pursues the Dman behind the net and his hit consisted of leaning against the Dman and almost falling over from exhaustion and then takes another 10 seconds to get back to the bench.
All in, about 1:20 minute shift where he (and his linemates) ran around in their own end, a turnover pass, a gassed effort in the opposing end and looking absolutely lost while down by 2 with now 13 mins to play when all he had to do was take that pass and dump it in and change...
Is that coaching or poor leadership by stajan? I say both. The fact he's playing tonight pisses me off because he has not earned it

Really need to get some points tonight -- if the Anaheim curse can be broken, surely the PK can let in less than two goals tonight and the bottom 6 can chip in with a goal or two?

How are the Caps not a top 5 team roster wise? They have Backstrom, our equal is...nope. They have Ovechkin, we can beat that with...nope. They have Kuznetsov, but we have...nope. They have oodles more talent up front, a solid back end and one of the best starting goalies in the NHL. They may not win the SC but they are sure built to do so and much more than we are.

This edition of the flames is starting to crush my soul.
I'm starting to not care again. I couldn't imagine how pissed I would be if I was a season ticket holder.

Im sorry. No team turns up to our home rink and "should" beat us

You'd really think this wouldn't be such a big deal to ask of a team, any team... but here we are.
