[GDT] Game 6, Flames vs. Canucks, 7 pm, CBC, NBCSN, TVA

[Huntingwhale]

There is definintely some pressure for Calgary to win it tonight. Having to go back to game 7 in Van would bring back flashbacks of '94 and being on enemy ice. Hoping for a dominating win.

[icarus]

I hope this doesn't play out like last game 6 against Vancouver. We really need to get that shot count up for once in this series and control the play like we did in game 4. I have no doubt these guys have got it in them. If they play like they did against LA in the penultimate game of the regular season we got this.

Go Flames Go.

I'm considering getting smash faced drunk right now so I can pass out and not wake up till tomorrow morning to numb the nerves and anxiety.

Just WIN boys!

I live across from stampede park and I'm wondering if its worth the walk down to enjoy the atmosphere before the game or if I'll be standing outside gates watching people have fun.

Yup, there are food trucks and tents set up outside of that area. The tents have things like the radio station, or face painting. So more kid-friendly, but all you're missing out on by not having a ticket is essentially the ability to buy beer or get closer to the stage.

Going to the game. Went to game 6 against the hawks. I want to see handshakes again, but for good reasons.

[icecube]

Im not nervous. I believe in this team and I know that the C of red will be the difference maker.

Don't get me wrong I have full confidence in them as well but I'm still a nervous wreck.

[Yoho]

Team with last line change will win! Have faith everyone this is Flames 2.0, past stats and superstitions have no bearing on these young guys.

We all preferred Vancouver as a first round match up, and tonight we see why.

[Icon]

I felt greatly confident before games 3 and 4, not so much before last game, right now it feels like we'll be celebrating tonight. GFG!!!

Anybody else find something wrong with sports net add on tonights game "They needed one and got one, Vancouver is still alive, going back to Calgary to do it one more time."

[bubbsy]

such a big game tonight.... Very anxious.

If the flames can play the way they have at home in games 3/4 this series they will be fine. Need to play with a lot of energy. If they can get the nucks down early i wouldn't be surprised if they just give up.

Go Flames Go!!!

[Tron_fdc]

I've been to every elimination game we have won since 2004.

I just confirmed tickets for tonight.

Book your flights to California boys.

No. Quit being oversensitive. The inferiority complex of some posters on here during this serious has been laughable.

Hartley gets it. What a leader, I hope he retires a Flame as well, after a very long and successful tenure. What a motivator. Proud to be a fellow Calgarian with him and I'll for sure be putting my heart out tonight for all the boys.

Take a chill pill Corsi, loosen up, it was meant to be some harsh criticism.

[calgaryred]

Crossing fingers for tonight, I personally don't think in the end the crowd will make the difference, it will be who wants it more. I've seen many Flames games where the crowd is loud and proud only to see heartbreak. Statistically the Flames have never won a game six versus the Canucks, and all were elimination games pro Flames. I hope Calgary will continue to do what it has all season and defy the odds getting it done.

Game 5 I predicted the final score 2-1 and saying either team could do it

Im staying on that page cause this team could go either way but I will predict the score to be 3-2 either in regulation time, or OT.

if its OT I pick Brodie to score for the Flames or Vrbata for the Canucks

go flames go play in May!!!!!!!!!

[bubbsy]

well it's time to change things and set some new precedent!

Interesting tidbit...when trailing Calgary in a playoff series, #Canucks have won every Game 6 All-Time, going 3 and 0 so far

No not really. That's what Vancouver did and from their perspective that's what they're coming here to do.

Now they're not going to be successful, but that's what they're going to attempt at least.

These ads happen all season. Sometimes for the home team, sometimes not. It's national TV, not a Calgary-centric broadcast.

[Locke]

Screw that nonsense. Time to write some new history.

The funny thing about this so call trend that they are 3 and 0 so far is that they fail to mention though they won game six but they are 1 and 3 on game 7.
