Does seem a little bizarre, especially given a 2pm start.

I'd assume though teams typically run on a later sleep cycle (bed late/sleep in) so the usual evening games feel like afternoon for them. Anyone know if that's a thing?

Afternoon game.

Last game before Christmas.

Flames coming off the high of going toe to toe with Tampa in one of the most exciting games of the year.

Smith starting.

Something tells me this will be an awful game for both teams, with players looking ahead to the holidays. I predict a sloppy 6-5 Flames win in OT.

No way. The boys want to continue the good vibes. They’ll want to go into Christmas break with the festive feeling of kicking ass. This game will be more ‘Die Hard’ than ‘Bad Santa’ for the boys. 5-2 Flames, at least.

Merry Christmas everyone, have a safe and happy holiday. GFG.

There's usually a morning skate light practice then most players take naps in the afternoon

Firstly, is not Christmas until I have seen Hans Gruber fall off of Nakatomi Plaza.
Carl Gunnarson looks like he could be one of Hans Gruber’s henchmen.

5-2 Flames sounds close, I was thinking 6-2

This was awesome, and so well done, being a Robot Chicken fan, I love Stop Motion with action figures.


The only thing that was a bit jarring was the sound track, Personally having a specific sound track with the entrance of the Villain and a action oriented sound during the fight would have put this over the top for me.


But I really love stop motion, and you're effort.

Looks like it’s blacked out in Ontario again. That makes 5 games in a row. Do any of the other Canadian teams go on a 5 game stretch without a national broadcast?

Getting a compliment from The Captain is always gonna brighten my day.

I still need to play around with the audio element of the software - once I conquer that I'll be unstoppable!

St. Lou is 6-3-1 in their last 10 trips to the dome. 2 by shutout.

Alltime franchise record at home against the Blues is....

47-35-5-3.

Awesome job Puppet Guy!

I predict a sound thrashing today, 6-1 Flames. Neal will actually score.

Closer win than one would think. 5-3 including an EN. Neal doesn't score but gets an assist, Smith looks ok, not great...so those two sore points for some, will continue through Santa's departure.

First game for my 7 year old as well.

My first game in about 3 or 4 years as well.

Really excited.
