Flames Les flambeaux contre les habitants (19h MST)

After a few days off before the playoff drive, the red-hot Flames (winners of 7 straight) head to battle against the equally hot Canadiens (winners of 6 straight).

After an embarrassing loss in Montreal a few weeks ago, the Flames will likely have revenge on their mind. Additionally, the Flames have had the Habs number in the Saddledome the past few years as the ghosts of '89 haunt the dreams of les glorieux. No matter what, a winning streak will be broken tonight.

_____________________________

Flames lineup will remain the same.
Gaudreau Monahan Ferkland

Habs will be led by Paul 'Paul Star' Byron, and a bunch of other schlubs in turtlenecks.

Go Flames!

This is a good test for us. We've been beating lots of bubble teams, so the games against real playoffs teams are huge.

The good news is that the Flames have had a nice 3 day break to rest up before the stretch drive.

The bad news is that the Flames have been off for 3 days and may be a bit flat tonight. It's especially unfortunate to have had this 3 day break while they were so red hot.

Hopefully they can stay sharp and keep it rolling.

Oilers are not playing tonight, which means with a win we can pass them in the standings.

Let's do this! Go Flames Go!

If we win tonight we catch them, but standings won't change due to games played.

However, a win would get us to the point where a loss for EDM (and also for ANA) would cause them to fall behind us in the standings.

And for Oil fan saltiness, that would be a better way for it to happen!

When you talk to long-time Habs fans, they tend to get reverential when you say "The Rocket". Our Hero looks to change that:

Spoiler!


Go Flames

Sigh. Well, it was a real nice secret organization we had once.

I'll take a nice entertaining 4-3 overtime win by the habs thank you very much. Trying to be nice here and let the flames take a generous point for their efforts of late.

Hopefully the score is so lobsided tonight in favour of the Flames that Canadiens fans end up calling the RCMP.
