QOTD: How will the Flames fare on this 5 game homestand

[Imported_Aussie]

I feel 3-1-1 for 7 points. Wins against Colorado (revenge win), Columbus, Dallas (who will be eliminated by then). Losses to Blues and Flyers will worry us, then they get those 3 wins. I think they go to OT vs the Blues, but the Flyers pull of a win in regulation

[N-E-B]

3-2-0

[You Need a Thneed]

6-0-0

A glitch in the NHL's database gives us an extra win, and isn't noticed until after they give the Flames the president's trophy.

[Erick Estrada]

2-2-1

[mrkajz44]

I'm thinking three wins and two losses. I suppose it all matters if the losses give us any points or not.

Still, I'm thinking 6 points and the playoff race remains too close to call.

[442scotty]

I voted 3-1-1 but Im hoping for 5-0

[Bourque's Twin]

I think 4-1. Wins against all but Dallas.

I fear the post Gio injury push will fade and we'll hit a mini slump before resuming the surge. Predicting 2-3.

Blues: Loss - Outplayed by a superior team
Flyers: Loss - Performance falls short of the expected bounce back and we have a bad night
Jackets: Loss - Nerves and gripping the sticks a little tightly. Shutout by Bobrovsky.
Avalanche: Win - Bounce back win
Stars: Win - Keep the momentum going with a win in a high scoring game

That happens and we're probably outside of a playoff spot looking in so I hope you're wrong, but I could see it happening.

I could also see them going 5-0. It's impossible to predict what this team will do.

I just don't see this team going > .500. We've been playing solid hockey ever since that 8 game losing streak occurred.

Hopefully we take advantage of the Blues seemingly taking us lightly and don't make another backup look like a Vezina nominee.

Thought it was reported that Elliott would start?

[calgarygringo]

This could be a tougher 5 than many think. St. Louis is in a different league "if they play their A game". Colorado and Minn have been on some pretty good runs too so maybe a little tougher there as well. Philly and Jackets are probably the best bets right now if the boys play at least 2 periods of good hockey in each game.
Not a lot of wiggle room here to lose more than 1 or 2 but don't be surprised if they come out on the losing end after this one.

dammit, I always forget that Elliott is their starter now

[heep223]

5-0.

We are the tits.

[Jay Random]

0-15. (Or more precisely, –10-5.)

The league will put in a retroactive rule stating that a team with bad Corsi numbers can't have a winning record, and take away 10 of the wins the Flames were incorrectly credited with earlier in the season.

[Flashpoint]

Five and oh, go flames go!

[hockey.modern]

If we beat the Blues tomorrow, I say 5-0

[FireGilbert]

I'm going to say 4-0-1 with two OT games, a loss to the Blues and a win vs the Stars.
