This will come as a shock to many, myself included...but I want to see what Darryl can do with this core. I want them to win tonight!

The core has the rest of the season to prove themselves one last time, as I think this will truly be their last chance.

[WhiteTiger]

Go Flames go!

[CroFlames]

Happy Darryl Day everyone!

[SuperMatt18]

Flames need to come out and really crush the Habs tonight early on.

Habs game last night weirdly started at 9:00 PM mountain. So they only had 19-22 hours between games including travel.

No excuse to not come out and out skate and control play tonight.

[OldSam]

Go Flames Go. Put a smile on all our faces tonight.

Which day is "Darryl Sutter Day"?

Is it 4 March? The day that Sutter was announced as the head coach of the Calgary Flames?
Is it 5 March? The day that Sutter was publicly introduced as the head coach of the Flames?
Is it 6 March? The date of the first game played after Sutter was hired as head coach?
Is it 8 March? The day that Sutter arrived at the Saddledome?
Is it 9 March? The day of his first practice with the Flames?
Is it today? The day that he first steps back behind the Flames bench?

It's too much. Instead of Darryl Sutter Day, this should really be the final day of the week-long celebration of "Darryl Sutter Days" from 4–11 March. The first day will be known as "Darryl Sutter's Eve," followed by progressively more elaborate celebrations which culminate in "Darryl Sutter Day" on the 11th.

Every Day is Darryl Sutter Day

[Heavy Jack]

Shaved the stache last night and I’m going to grow it like the boys did during 03/04 reg season, let’s do this Flames!!!

5 - 1

Gaudreau
Valimaki
Tkachuk
Monahan
Ritchie

[Ashasx]

I feel like this is going to be another stinker. Flames will end the game strong but will lose this one as they are still adjusting to Darryl.

The Flames have historically failed to capitalize on these kinds of games you circle on the calendar.

But no doubt now that I've posted this, they'll win.

Would not be surprised at all if this team gets a new coach bump under Sutter for a few days, the question is will the players keep it going for a sustained period? Wouldn't bet a lot of money on that. Let's just hope they can at least win a few and make things interesting for us again.

Hope Ritchie has a big game, I've been pleasantly surprised with his play. He's like found money for this team.

I take it you are good with this hire?

[zztim81]

If they come out flat or only put in a 20 min effort is there anything in the CBA preventing Darryl from keeping them on the bench after the game and bag skating everyone?

[direwolf]

If they lose these two games, they're likely done and the season is pretty much a write off. Win both and it's something to build on and gain confidence from.

I think Sutter will have them prepared, but it'll all depend on how much the players are willing to buy in and work hard for 60 minutes. Tonight will be an interesting game for sure.

[Ashes]

Canadians are 3-2-5 in their last 10

Flames are 3-5-2 in their last 10

Both teams have changed their coaches recently, I'm expecting a tight game but the good guys to come out on top, GFG! Ritchie with a hat-trick :O

So, what I'm really interested to see is how certain players respond on the forecheck over the next 2-3 weeks. Namely, Bennett, Monahan, Backlund, and Lindholm. These are key players for this team..they need these guy creating on the forecheck more than thy have.

And Johnny needs to make steals like he can.

Flames go on a 5 game winning streak. Book it.
