Hopefully there's a good crew of Flames fans at the game tonight! Seemed like the red in the building had dwindled over the last few years

I've been to every Flames game at the ACC since I moved here 4 years ago. There are quite a few Flames fan wearing jerseys, but definitely not as many as some of the more popular visiting teams.
I'll be wearing the new classic "orange" jersey, lower bowl visiting end (115)

I really like both of them. Both know their stuff and come across pretty natural. Don't really force the banter.

The most I can recall was that 2009 game when Jokinen scored a hat-trick.... since then I feel like it's fell off a bit.

Regardless, should be a good game! Flames need to limit time and space as the Leafs can fill the net. That said, they are a turnover machine so hopefully Hartley has these guys coming on the forecheck hard tonight.

3-1 Flames.

Jooris and Byron both score on breakaways after skating by Dion aka "the pylon"

Toronto paying attention to Calgary, about 7:30 in:

I was at that game!!!

A loooong losing streak during the young guns era.

I will be going to the game with my Leaf-loving colleague/buddy. My Giordano jersey versus his Lupul jersey means I already have a leg up.
Really hoping for a good game. These Leaf fans are tough to live with.

They lost 8-6 in the game Jokinen got a hat trick. He actually had 5 points.

Not Kipper's best night 6 goals on 22 shots, McBackup let in one and then an EN goal.

[Samuelsson]

Who fights Dion first?

[Machiavelli]

I'll be at this one, so excited!

GO FLAMES!!!!!!!!!

[Bandwagon In Flames]

8-0-1 Record following a loss. Sorry Leafs, but you'll be booed by your moody fans before this night is over!

Hiller will be looking for back-to-back starts now that Ramo is back to human status.

Raymond probably had a lot of doubters in Toronto and will hopefully make an impact. He was scoring when nobody else was and now that everyone is looking deadly, he's probably been chomping at the bit to get back in.

[Finger Cookin]

Man, I still remember that 11-3 game in 1988. The network showing it (pretty sure it was TSN) had a segment leading up to it about how the Leafs are fun to watch again, and that parents should sit down with their kids and watch the game. And then we just shelled them. I wonder how many little Leafs went to bed with tears in their eyes that night.

Seems fitting that Gio beats the crap out of him

I'm guessing either a disgruntled fan or Elisha when he gets home because I doubt he wants a piece of anyone on the Flames roster right now

double post

Aaron Vickers @AAVickers
Phanuef on Giordano: "He’s obviously grown into a bigger role…but he always had the skill, always had the compete. Everyone talks right now about the year that [Giordano]’s having but he’s had some very big years before."

Wes Gilbertson @SUNGilbertson
Dion Phaneuf on #Flames: "You look at their team and how well they've played, they're where they're at in the standings for a reason."

[sureLoss]

Derek Wills @Fan960Wills
#Flames power play at morning skate:
Gaudreau-Jooris-Hudler
Brodie-Giordano

Raymond-Monahan-Jones
Russell-Wideman

interesting see Glencross bumped off the PP units, may be trying to get him less minutes so he can heal up

[sureLoss]

Bollig scratched. Ferland in?

Wes Gilbertson @SUNGilbertson
#Flames LW Mason Raymond on third line at morning skate. LW Michael Ferland working with C Matt Stajan and RW Lance Bouma on fourth unit.

Wes Gilbertson @SUNGilbertson
Also, #Flames D Deryk Engelland is in. D Raphael Diaz will be a scratch.

Kristen Odland @KristenOdlandCH
#Flames lines
Glencross-Monahan-Jones
Gaudreau-Jooris-Hudler
Raymond-Granlund-Byron
Ferland-Stajan-Bouma
Not sure about the fourth line tho

Kristen Odland @KristenOdlandCH
If Hartley’s set on his lineup, Bollig is likely to be scratched at left wing on the fourth line based on rushes this morning.

Can't wait to be at the game tonight, I'm 0-4 at the ACC so hopefully the boys get a W. Go Flames Go!
