I'm with you on this one. A game we should lose, but I see us pulling out a narrow victory for some reason.

That being said it is also hard to imagine the Pens go 0/2 in Alberta.

From 8:00pm Mountain time until it ends:



This is gonna hurt so very much.

8-0 Pens. I'll watch every second but I get the distinct feeling I am going to hate it.

The stinkin' Leafs are not playing so Hughson and Simpson sometimes go west and call the western primetime game or as they did two weeks ago, call a different eastern game (Bruins-Senators).

I bet this game an under cause as history shows... When the Flames have everything against them... We pull out a win.

I did say that about the STL game ... FML

That became a trend because truthfully the Flames were never a bad enough team to go on a real tank in the standings.

Last year, the short season allowed us to rely on the adrenaline of new callups and rookies to ride to some unexpected victories.

Being plucky got us so far, but not 82 games far.

This will be the first Flames game I haven't watched all season. I'll be checking on the score regularly but I'm busy tonight. Pens are mad that the Oilers beat them so I'm expecting them to come out hard.

I'm optimistic that they won't get shut out though. 6-2 Penguins. Baby steps, right?

Did we lose this game yet? I'm tired of waiting for a foregone conclusion.

Over/under on the amount of points Crosby gets?

I think 3 is a realistic over under. I will take the over.

Ya, I would have set it at 4.5 but I still think it'll be over

Here's an interesting tidbit:

Quote:
Longest non-shutout streak: 264 games (Calgary Flames, Nov. 12, 1981-Jan. 9, 1985)

The Calgary Flames heard plenty of boos from the fans at the Stampede Corral when they were embarrassed 7-0 by the visiting Blues on Nov. 10, 1981. Little did they know that their team would go more than three full seasons without seeing a "0" at the end of the game.

Two nights after the embarrassing loss to the Blues, Calgary began the longest consecutive-game scoring streak in NHL history by edging the Quebec Nordiques 3-2. Win or lose, the Flames kept scoring until Jan. 11, 1985, when the Nordiques blanked them 4-0 at the Colisee in Quebec.

The Los Angeles Kings came close to matching the Flames' mark, having scored in 261 consecutive games before Calgary preserved its line in the NHL record book with a 5-0 win at L.A. on Oct. 25, 1989. In contrast, no team has gone as much as one full season without being shut out since the 2006-07 Buffalo Sabres scored in all 82 games.
