Better to deal with any flu issues now than when Round 1 is here!

Sounds like a illness the team is trying to stop from spreading.

I agree it's the simplest answer, so likely correct.

The strange point for me is letting mony dress up and play 6 minutes and then pulling him out. It hit him suddenly after the puck drop and he felt nothing at all up to the warm ups? The staff had no idea whatsoever that he may be sick and rushed to quarantine him after he flagged them from the bench?

I guess he could have been hiding how he felt.

[KootenayFlamesFan]

Wonder what Bennett's issue is? Sickness or nagging injury?

Glad whatever it is that it's minor.

[Nelson]

So, are the lines:
Gaudreau - Ryan - Lindholm
Tkachuk - Backlund - Frolik
Mangiapane - Jankowski - Czarnik
- Quine - Hathaway?

[Maritime Q-Scout]

How long does the norovirus live outside the body?

Can we get Monohan to lick some muffins and send them to whoever the Flames play in the playoffs?

[hwy19man]

The commentators for the Flames-Jets game are Jim Hughson, Craig Simpson, and Sean Reynolds.

[dammage79]

Wow, when is the last time Hughson called a Flames game? That wasn't against T.O or VAN.

I wonder how sad Hughson will sound every time the Flames score.

[FanIn80]

Well I guess Hughson is a Jets fan now.

[TheScorpion]

Maybe I'm in the minority, but I grew up listening to Hughson and he just sounds like hockey to me. It's always a treat when he calls a game because it takes me back to my childhood.

Looking forward to this one even more now.

Hanifin-Hamonic

[transplant99]

Losing both Monahan and Bennett is a big hit on a back to back.

Really not expecting much tonight unfortunately, though it would be awesome if Smith could go into beast mode and steal one.

[timbit]

Flames have 12 players with 25 or more points
Remarkable!
TB and Wash also has 12
Toronto and SJ have 11

Oilers have FIVE.

The scoring depth will to be there for the Flames tonight.

I'm guessing one of these is Quine?

That's a lot of Derek Ryan

Presumably the 2nd Ryan is actually Quine.

Yep:

Since both Mony and Sammy are sick, so there might not be enough Doc in the house?

[sureLoss]

Derek Wills @Fan960Wills
Look for #Flames to double-shift Gaudreau and Tkachuk on left side of Jankowski and Czarnik from time to time tonight. #CGYvsWPG

[btimbit]

I actually don't mind Hughson when he's calling something other than the Canucks or Leafs. This might be alright

Chucky getting some love on HNIC!

Yeah this is a great little segment. Loved what Patrick Kane had to say about him
