This is another "classic" Flames season - no playoffs and drafting 12th - so, time for some unexpected wins. 4-3 tonight and 6-4 in Ottawa. Get your bets in.

Ya this #### streak seems worse than previous. If they Flames don't luck out and get some bounces these will be 2 straight L's. 2 of the worst performances in recent memory, no indication that it will change.

Happens every year, but this is the worst they've looked in a long time

If there was one game all season that I was absolutely certain we would win it's tonight. I'm not going to predict a score but am sure we will win. We have no business even being in this one, but it's a lock.

[Moneyhands23]

Time for -2 Tippett points!

Ferland in tonight. F Hamilton out.

[gilligans_off]

From what i watched last night F. Hamilton didn't bring much that Ferland won't. And Ferland has a better shot.

[greentree]

I'm at the game tonight...a rarity, the last time I witnessed an NHL game in Montreal was at the old Forum in 1990 (now a movie theatre and Tim Hortons, etc)...I'll be loud and proud for the Flames from the nosebleeds tonight. Go Flames Go!

[Beninho]

This could get painful

[northcrunk]

Now send F Hamilton and A Chiasson back the the AHL where they belong.

F Hamilton = Forward Hamilton
D Hamilton = Defence Hamilton

Mind = Blown.

Does that mean we win or lose ? In assuming win because they way we have been playing, Tippett is a bad top 5 pick.

[Badgers Nose]

I would have liked to see something like this:

Tkachuk - Backlund - Frolik
Gaudreau - Monahan - Bennett
Versteeg - Stajan - Brouwer
Ferland - Hamilton - Hathaway

Gio - Hamilton
Brodie - Eng
Kulak - Wides

Will we suck? Will a fire magically be lit underneath our rear ends? We Shall see tonight on a very special episode of the Calgary Flames

Spoiler!

5-2 Habs is my prediction for the score

[N-E-B]

Somehow this team is still in a playoff spot, therefore this is a meaningful game.

Flames win 3-2.

I pray we've hit the rock bottom of this season over the past week.

I don't understand the hate for Chiasson. I get that he is playing up in the lineup from where he should but I think along with Versteeg, he is best value on this roster. Ferland sat last game because he was awful against the Oilers standing around watching while his man scored two goals when the game was still in contention. I also don't get why people are so irritated with Chiasson when other guys like Brouwer and Gaudreau with several times the salary are doing nothing, and Gio and Brodie are playing quite poorly too. Why vent at Chiasson? I don't get it. At least he brings consistent effort. Not the reason why the Flames have sucked lately by a long shot.

[direwolf]

Honestly it can't get any worse than the last three games, which were basically rock bottom as far as I'm concerned. Therefore, this has to be the game where they turn it around, right? It has to be, dammit!

[calgaryblood]

Don't really understand how F. Hamilton got a two year one way deal. One of the weirdest signings I can remember as it came out of left field.

I could understand a one year deal but a two year deal? He's never really impressed enough IMO to warrant a two year deal.
