Let's get some flames jersey in the crowd and silence them!

We played them to a 3-0 defeat and I had a bet on the game with a buddy from work... He had to wear my 'Cammlleri' miss-spelled Walmart jersey the whole day hahaha. He counter bet me that the Flames will lose tonight and I'll have to wear a leafs jersey for a week... I said I can't believe your name is Mike, makes a week of Cammlleri even better hahaha.

Bubbsy and any other Flames fans that are on the fence... Let's fill the ACC like when the leafs are in Calgary!!

ugh, as i finished typing my post i had 2 tabs open checking stubhub/ticketmaster for any cheap seats....

man i'm a sucker for punishment.

scratch that. Just saw the lineups, and practically no changes. I'm out.

[Heavy Jack]

Brodie on the left side again....at least Kulak is in for Jokipakka

[Gaskal]

At least Gaudreau is with someone familiar who is on a goal scoring streak, but jesus get Chiasson off that line.

Hopefully Bennett can rediscover some of his preseason chemistry with Brouwer.

[shotinthebacklund]

I must admit, I was not part of the early Chiasson haters but good god have I come around to it. I have become very irked by seeing chiasson continue to get his chances, I dare say i may have liked raymond more in that spot...

I'll be in 306, rocking my red Backlund tonight! GFG!!

[CaptainCrunch]

I don't know if I'm going to watch the game tonight, I mean to me it just feels like a lot of work and would take an effort to do it.

At the end of the day after getting crushed by the hated Oilers and being slightly embarrassed about being a Flames fan, do I really want to take the chance of watching this team sleep walk through a team supported by the biggest egotistical fans in the NHL and having another embarrassing loss hung on the Flames.

At this point, watching the Flames over the last while just isn't all that exciting or rewarding, I can simply click on my cellphone and get the score.

[Toonage]

Yeah, with the Flames playing like they are and the Leafs overachieving its not looking good for tonight. Add to that how the Flames typically play poor in Toronto and how the Leafs owe this team for the shutout a few months back.

So, yeah

Flames 5 Leafs 2

Cause thats how this team rolls.

If you told we we would have the record we have now at the beginning of the season with 30 games left and the bottom wild card spot in our hands I'd take it. The flames need to regroup and put a charge in going towards these two eastern swings, we sort of turned the season around when we went east in November, let's do it again and with a big win against the buds!

[Erick Estrada]

Hitting the road may be the best thing that can happen to this squad as the last time they went east they started to play a better team game.

[robertsfanatic]

i'll be there with either my mony or 2004 jersey...I have been to every Flames game in Toronto since the late eighties and we need to get back to when they used to kick the snot out of the leafs.

not sure of my seats since my brother got them but lower bowl...you will hear me when they score.

GO FLAMES GO!

[REDVAN]

OMG get Gaureau and Monahan a fricken winger already!

Everyone knew when Hudler left, that we needed a new guy there... right now Iginla would even be better than what we've got FFS. At least the guy can finish Gaureau's passes with a shot.

And switch Brodie back to the right side. Brodie was our best d-man for 2 seasons playing on the right... so why switch him to the left? Makes no sense other than we had too many righties... great, so trade up for a better leftie or fwd!?

Man, I've tried to be positive, but the out-coaching and the basic lacking pieces on this team are starting to irritate me! I know there's more to it than this, but we can't lose to the Leafs! Oilers are one thing (they are a better team this season), but DO NOT lose to the Leafs!

[CGY12]

I'll be at the game tonight as well, which is probably bad news seeing how I've been to every Flames game at the ACC since I move here in 2013 and they've lost every single one and I went to one in 2010 or 2011 and they lost that one too.

Please surprise me tonight.

Flames are on an 85 point pace and trending down. I most definitely would not have taken that at the start of the year. Being in the wild card chase is a function of other teams poor play which really has no bearing on Flames development.

Do the Flames still have time to right the ship? Yeah but I'm not a believer that what we have seen so far is an improvement other than a month of strong goalie play.

Do you not remember those years at all? This team is in a, wait for it...PLAYOFF SPOT IN LATE JANUARY!! And you want to call it as humiliating as the darkest years in the franchise's history?

Please.

The loss on Saturday sucked, and yeah, they don't deserve to be in a playoff spot based on play, but they are due to the West being brutal. But the fact remains, they are there.

Bad take.

[keenan87]

Go Flames Go!

Also, would like to see a big game from Tkachuk as he will be going up against 3 other rookies (Matthews, Marner, Williams). Hopefully he crushes them all.

Disagree... why break up one of the best lines in hockey?

[CroFlames]

Let's win and look good doing it.

The players owe it to the fans.
