[GDT] Flames vs. Canucks, 8 pm, CBC

[TheChief]

I'm coming down from red deer for this game. I hope the dome gets behind the boys early and the good guys come out with the HUGE W.

[Toonage]

Wondering why they don't go back to the lines from the San Jose game but excited to see the results from tonight.

My mind was blown when I saw Jones' 21pts in 42 games. 0.5 ppg for 4 million cap hit is decent value for Jones' contract, the only knock on him his health. He's been a good player for us this year and I think he'll have a big game.

Raymond has been playing very good hockey lately as well. 6 points his last 6 games, Flames going 4-2 in those games. Here's hoping he burns his ex-club the way he used to burn his hometown while with the Canucks.

His only NHL win in one of three NHL games played in his career.

Damn autoplay videos. Classic Kerr though;

-Missing the first goal on his initial call
-A couple exuberant "Where is it?!?!" as if that's adding excitement as opposed to highlighting unawareness.
-The audio delay (which I still believe was for him) and he's still behind.
-Getting charged up for an empty netter

Said before, said again...Ball and Hrudey are beyond fantastic, and better than anything else SNet has...hopefully they're around for a while and SNet doesn't shift them around or put them on national games. They now make watching the last few years of suffering through local SN broadcast games worth it, and that's not an easy feat.

[t-bag22]

Biggest game of the year. Lets go Flames!!

[sureLoss]

Reports of Lack starting were lacking...

Only exception to this would be to let them call Flames national games. So much better than Romanuk or Ransdorf.

And the last two in Vancouver?

Irving and Ortio

what's with that?

[Obsidian]

Destroy them, boys.

Be like hungry dogs out of a cage! No mercy for the Canuckle-f###s.

[Bill Bumface]

Glad to hear Ramo is getting the start. He's had a much shorter leash than Hiller this year, and I'm still not certain we know what we have with him yet.

[Obsidian]

We've also been trending the right way when it comes to the nucks this season

Game 1: L
Game 2: OTL
Game 3: W

[smalltownref]

Prediction time... 4-2 Flames win. Last game the Kings played like a desperate club... tonight I can see the same thing from the Flames. At least that's what I hope to see.

[Lumby Lager]

We got the monkey off our back the last game, we are going to handle them tonight. I am calling it 4-2 for the good guy's and that score flatters the clowns from the coast as we push them around all night and dominate.

[Obsidian]

[GranteedEV]

There's no predicting the winner. It took a rock-solid Ortio shutout last game to finally beat these guys, and their biggest strength (4VS4) is our biggest strength too.

Go Flames!!

No game against a tough opponent would be complete without Hemi-Cuda's bleak, depressing outlook. I wonder if he watches the games the same way he posts about them. Must be a joy, lol.

Great write up Cali

GFG!!!!

I don't think those are fans, that looks to be the Zamboni entrance where the staff stand around while waiting for TV timeouts.

[cupraisedn89]

Pumped for this game tonight! Hope the boys can rebound from their last performance and take advantage of the Canucks back to back game. Looking forward to see Ramo between the pipes and start the battle again for that #1 spot.

GO FLAMES!
