Yes; they are all over California; in fact California is where their headquarters are.

Safeway score an win has now made it to the local Sharks broadcasts (youtube the Brent Burns commercial).

I'm excited to be frustrated again when I see the team go 0-whatever on the PP.

Apparently Tampa's PK is not all that great so maybe the PP will have some success...

Bahahahahahaha!!

Didn't help much in Edmonton against the league's worst home PK in the modern era...

Tampa is going to come out hard and will be trying to get some revenge for the last game. As long as Calgary matches that effort from the start, I am not too worried. I do think that this team has the ability to play with anyone in the league.

Hopefully that PP clicks. I just don't know why this team is so adamant that they have to run 4 forwards and 1 D on it. Flames have really good options to run 3 forwards and 2 D, and even if not, there are better options than Brouwer. Tkachuk's spot is right in front of the net. Where is Brouwer going to be on the PP? Now watch him score and make me sound stupid here (and I hope that is the case).

This team needs to find its' offensive gear if they are ever going to take the next step, without it being an expense on defence. That PP has to start producing something, and even their 5on5 needs to put the puck in the net a smidge more. A smidge should make a world of difference on this team when you look back at how many losses (and OT losses) this team has been racking up lately. That's what is (IMO of course) what is keeping this team solidly in the 'pretender' category for now.

Hopefully tonight will be the start of this team taking off. There is so much to like about this team, and they have shown the ability to beat anyone in the league and do it well, but they continually are shooting themselves in the foot with their poor PP and just 'crazy things' that happen in a game that suddenly implodes a game.

Maybe I have too much faith in this team, but I do think this is a team that can compete very well with the NHL's elite. Hopefully this is the game they start ramping up and fixing some of the issues that has plagued them this season (which I believe are all fixable with the pieces that they have on the team).

Safeway Score and Win "down here" is $1M for 4 goals, instead of 5.

When I was down in SF, they had singles night on Wednesdays at Safeway. Definitely worth checking out to score and win.

What’s the start time?

[FiveSeven]

7pm! 7-0?

[WhiteTiger]

Taking my dad to this one tonight, for our last 'go to' game of the season. Here's hoping for a great game, and a win! Go Flames go!

[Drunk Uncle]

Going to the game tonight. Super excited to see how the Flames do after playing a solid game against Vegas (save those 2 last minutes)! I'm expecting great things.

I wonder if George Canyon will sing the new anthem today.

I likely wont be watching, I love the Flames but what happened the other night was unacceptable at the pro level and the beginning of the end this year. We will be in tough to make the playoffs and if we do somehow make it we will get rolled all over again. I am still very mad about it clearly and I hope the players care as much as I do but I have my doubts.

Gotta keep the faith, make it a drinking game. Everytime the PP doesn’t score it’s a shot. Everytime Brouwer fumbles a pass it’s a shot. If someone shoots on their own goalie it’s 5 shots! If the camera catches Johnny swearing it’s 3 shots! See games can still be fun

The Flames are two points out of the #2 slot in the Pacific Division with 32-games left.

What a weird time for anyone to throw in the towel.

that is not 'fun', that is a death wish

[keenan87]

The Flames can be winning 10-0 with 1 min remaining and I still wont feel confident. Just win please

Very true, but this many on this team have showed me and so many others that they will find a way to blow any prospects of a good season. No heart, no drive, no finish, no give a crap when it matters, no anger.
