I only just now noticed your custom user handle. Why is there a hyphen between the modifier and the object?

Hahaha, that's a funny story. It was originally just "first round bust", and I complained to Jiri about the lack of a hyphen, so he... added one.

These are the kind of games that will display the mental fortitude of this group. I expect a convincing win, which means they will likely fall flat. Prove me wrong Flames!

Spoiler!
One involved allegedly good intentions to "fix" a valuable work of art. The other involved bits on a computer. And saying **** is not criticism, either.

The Isles are not good, but they are offensively dangerous and can score a lot of goals in a hurry. If the Flames stay focused for 60 minutes they should take this one.

The Flames have lost the last 7 games I've attended. I'm not going tonight, so I think they'll win handily.

6-2 Flames.

Gillies and Rittich have made more puck handling gaffs in their limited playing time than Smith has this entire season

Personally I've always found a round-bust .... entertaining. Whether it's first or second....

Would be nice if we could get playoff Dome tonight instead of library Dome. This team could certainly use some good fan support for these home games. Lord knows they need it when they play in this building.

Those of you going to the game tonight, please cheer loudly.

I hear you man, but they have to play their part and give us something to cheer for.

The style is dull. Regardless of results.

Wow, Isles have actually lost 8 in a row. For some reason that makes me feel worse about this game...

Islanders allow the most shots against per game in the league at 35.7 and have by far the league worst GAA at 3.53.

Flames get the 8th most shots on goal per game in the league at 33.3 (that doesn't include all the missed shots and posts they hit...which is a lot)

Chris Gibson is the goalie for the Isles tonight. He's playing in just his 7th game and 5th start of his NHL career. He's a veteran of the AHL currently in his 6th season. His career numbers aren't anything special, but in 2 starts this year he has a GAA of 1.86 and a Sv% of .953

That's the key tonight for me. Is this a hot streak for Gibson that will continue tonight, or will he look like the AHL vet that he is? Will the Flames expose his weaknesses or shoot pucks into his crest, making him look like a star?

One hopes that the Flames seize the opportunity to pounce on a flailing Islanders team tonight. Early start at home on a Sunday...let's hope the crowd is into this one to give the boys an edge. I know I'll hear calgaryboy screaming his head off at least...
