I find it hard to believe they're the second shortest team in the league. If they are, the separation between 1 and 30 must be very small.

They have 3 players who are 5'11", 2 who are 5'10", and one who is 5'9". Everyone else is 6 feet or taller.

The Habs have 3 players shorter than the Blues' shortest player. The Flames have Cammalleri at the same height as Roy, and Byron two inches shorter.

Steen missed 40 games with a concussion in 2012; would suck if he has another head injury just as he is having a career year

I wouldn't look into the height ranking too much. The difference in teams league wide is a couple inches and a couple really short players can bring down your ranking significantly.

Remove Brian Boyle from the Rangers and the Rangers go from top 10 in height to bottom 10.

Here's hoping the Flames act like this guy and give us an early Christmas present.

Unfortunately not feeling too great with our D, I like the look of our forward lines though.

I'm going to go with something similar to the pens game, maybe 5-3 loss. Here's to hoping though! Happy holidays all.

scoring a few, and not giving up as many as the oilers would sure be sweet.

Less than a 6-0 deficit would be ideal.

Its more than likely the Blues dont have any more goals left in them after that.

I would hope that Galiardi would show something tonight. He's been amazingly invisible for most of the year. You'd think he'd want to bring it after all of these scratches.

Now, it looks like Smid is good to go today. It's a Christmas miracle!

Flames have to pull out a win, after all the grinding we gave the Oilers over their 6 - 0 loss.

Looks like Breener will be paired with O'Brien again. Honestly, I don't understand this move by Hartley as he clearly needs to be paired with puck moving dman. Breen has been totally misused by the Flames so far, I still believe he can be important part of the future team, but yeah ... sometimes it's hard to be a Flames fan.

Bouwmeester will be playing in game No. 800 of his career tonight. He has also played 670 consecutive games.

I'm sure Kerr will let us know all about it.

I have watched several Blues fox sports broadcasts and they do not mention it. In fact I caught myself wondering if he was still an iron man.

Mikael Backlund just got a brand new TV, I asked him how the HD fireplace channel looks and he said the detail on the logs is amazing.
