 Every team has other teams that own them.  The Flames have beaten the Stars twice, the Rangers and the Bruins in the last 2 weeks. 
   
 But the Flames are only good if they beat the Blues?

It's a step forward to being a contender if you can go toe to toe with teams that own you. So as far as this current iteration of the Flames roster goes, the Blues are the team they should be gaining ground on  in terms of being able to fight through and make a marked improvement. 
 
For me as a fan it's a measuring stick game as I get to watch and see if they can get over a team that just has them figured out.

Should be obvious that doing well against a top team is in fact a measuring stick game?

The only other game happening right now is the Hawks & Sabres, which is almost over.  And Rogers can't let the rest of the country watch the Flames game?  So freakin' annoying.

			The Flames main need is a scoring RW that could play with Gaudreau and Monahan. Unfortunately, that's likely an offseason target rather than something that can be addressed right now.
