Huge 2 points tonight. They've got a long stretch of games coming up and most will be on the road so they have to win home games like tonight.

Got tickets for the game tonight! This will be my first playoff game ever, despite being 30.
Really hoping for a big 2 points tonight!

Keys to the game for Calgary:

Bring waves of forechecking and put pressure on the Nucks defensemen

Physical game, but stay out of the penalty box

Do not over think or over pass

Put lots of pucks on Miller and get bodies to the net

Enjoy the moment and have fun

Play as above for 60 minutes
I like this as a game plan!! When I was at Game 4 I was so impressed with their absolutely ferocious forecheck: that is what made that game winnable. The Vancouver D were looking around ALL the time...no time or space to pass and waiting to get hit.

Just get rubber on the net. Wait for a good bounce and whack it in behind Miller.

And one other thing is necessary: Please, Dome crowd - be REALLY loud!!! Support our guys with your lungs and hands!

What's wrong with burning a Canucks jersey?

So regretting the fact that I agreed to cater a birthday party before the playoffs started. Hoping to be out of there in time to catch the third period at least. I hope to turn the radio on and hear that the good guys are in the lead. Go Flames Go! put these dirty Canucks away in 6!

Nothing. People are too sensitive. Burn the flag of another country. Bad. Burn a jersey. Who cares?

we have to find a line on this politically correct stuff, its honestly making me ill

its a sports team its not a gender, race, a nationality ... its a jersey. if the guy wants to spend 200 to burn for a picture, go for it.

if a Vancouver fan burns a Flames jersey up I'll just point to the logo and say its inevitable!

Yeah, its not a big deal. Its not like hes burning the flag or a cross or something. Its his money, he can burn it if he wants to.

Quite frankly, hes not hurting anyone, hes rustling some jimmies, which was more than likely the point.

I disagree. Its a part of the rivalry & seeing a Canucks jersey up in Flames seems kind of just right. There's no burning of a country's flag, no riots being incited because of it, no Canuck fans being hurt in the taking of the picture. There's simply an opposing team's jersey being burned. People seem to be too uptight about some things.

LOL...did anyone notice that the burning of that jersey actually looks photo shopped?

Good luck with that; any bleeding heart or SJW that has a twitter account and an email account will tweet and/or email some picture they don't like, and takes some like minded member of the media tol put that on a legit website or broadcast, and they'll be cries to have to be a public discussion about what it means, what values it promotes, and how that will affect our children, and their children.

So in what sense do you disagree? Because none of this goes against it being disrespectful to the organization. There's plenty of trash talk that's aimed at disrespecting the organization, players, fans... all of which is fair game. I don't see anybody being uptight about anything.

There's an awful lot more whining from people like Browna about SJW's ruining all their fun than there actually are people objecting to this stuff. You're railing against absolutely no one.
