After trailing 2-0 no less. Impressive come from behind win.
Chicago's been on a good run lately, and their PP is pretty hot. Flames will have to play smart in this one.

I probably didn't watch the last 15 to 20 games of the season last year. It was a sin to have Gulutzan at the helm for that long.
This year I find myself planning around game nights (or afternoons, it seems). This season has been tons of fun. Watching the performances of individual players, team success, and daring to dream about hockey in June.

You guys are, probably, going to see the Rook, Delia, in net. He has a 0.952 Sv%., on a high volume of shots, due, to the 'Hawks turnover prone defense. The kid has been very good.
Yesterday the 'Hawk lines were
Saad-Toews-Kahun
Anisimov-Strome-Kane
Perlini-Kampf-DeBrincat
Kunitz-Caggiula-Kruger
Keith-Dahlstrom
Gustafsson-Murphy
Davidson-Seabrook
And I would expect the same, unless Forsling is over his illness, then Davidson, fresh off knee surgery, would be the scratch.
I, also, wouldn't be surprised to see Kunitz sat, and Hayden dressed, although, Kunitz did finally score one yesterday.
Recent 'Hawk relative success has been due to an upswing in special teams...yesterday, the 'Hawks scored 1PPG, and 2 others within seconds of a PP expiring.
Our weakness has been vs. aggressive forechecks, as the lines with Kane or DeBrincat seem to get pinned in the D-zone often, especially as the two mentioned guys try to "cheat" and fly the zone. Also, as I mentioned, our defense is mistake prone (Seabrook has been a turnover machine.).
I have to work tonight, but, hope to be able to stream the game from my office. However, I apologize in advance, for typos and mangled syntax if I try to post on the GT from my phone via tapatalk...the autocorrect drives me crazy!
Hope for a good game, and I hope my guys can avoid the season sweep. BTW, even though the 'Hawks are still down the standings, with, the most games already played, they ARE only 6 points out of a WC spot, so, are not yet mailing games in (as witnessed in fighting back from 2 down, on the road, in a non-conference game, yesterday).
Good luck to your Flames, and my friends here at CP, and I will check in with the PGT. even if I don't get the chance to post on the GT.

Flames were awful for the majority of that game against Philly, and despite the 2 points I'm sure the coach reminded them of that fact. I anticipate we'll see a much more focused effort from the guys tonight.
4-1 Flames.

Delia has nice stats this year, both in the AHL and NHL (only 4 games in the latter though). If he sicks it goes to show you can never tell with goalies, because his 17-18 number, in all 3 pro NA leagues, are not good.
The Hawks are a shadow of their former selves but they still have some players who can go, so the Flames need to step on them.

May all of Chicago’s shot hit the post, and then the crossbar, before not going in the net.

We're on Justin Bourne watch, folks!

If the Flames get 2 points tonight, they're over the .650 threshold and Mr. Bourne must settle up.

Johnny and Kane are going to collide at centre ice and create a four-legged, four-armed, dual-sticked monstrosity that will average 3.5 PPG for the rest of the season on our way to sweeping the playoffs.
Also Neal is score today.

How does Calgary end up with the four-legged, dual-sticked monstrosity for the remainder of the season?

I wouldn't be counting on a big game from Johnny tonight, lol.

The top players have been great, no doubt, and are carrying the team to this impressive record.
On rare occasions, they lay an egg or start slow. Like the road games this year in Manhattan, Montreal, LV for example.

Neither does he.
But someone is after him and he has sweet skills.
But seriously, it’s a big step from never having heard of a guy to having to watch him for something. Not sure I have that kind of time
