I'm getting so sick of losing to the Canucks and their AHL affiliate. Let's at least go 1 for 2 tonight please.

[squirtle]

Baertschi - Shore - Poirier line now that Arnold is injured?

[Drury18]

I would think that's a good possibility.

I don't have any info on lines and probably won't until the game starts as it's an away game and it doesn't look like they had a morning skate.

[Rick M.]

That picture of Shore makes him look like Treliving's long lost younger brother.

[Enoch Root]

Dare I say the Flames end both the Canucks curses today? Big first game for Shore, with him, Baertschi and Poirier having a huge game and leading the charge for the win.

Already down 1-0 2:08 into the first.

No shore

[Caged Great]

The goal scored by Utica was on a 4 on 3 powerplay. It was a boneheaded move by Addy's defensemen. They allowed a guy to get between them and the goalie and he deked out the goalie.

Theissen with a good save on a break by Shinkaruk.

Ferland had a bit of a break as well, but was denied.

[Street Pharmacist]

Wolf!

Wolf scores on the wraparound!
