Pretty clear it’s a veteran team going through the motions, and making sure they aren’t taking injury risks.

Could probably skip this one w/o issue. But would like to see Lucic score.

Goes without saying, no? It's preseason. The last time I saw a Flames crowd into a preseason game was against the Blackhawks, the first game back at the Dome after the 2005 lockout.

It was pretty crazy. We gave Kipper a huge standing ovation when he came to our side of the ice for the second period.

Any opportunity to make the Oilers look bad isn’t meaningless.

The Fleury comeback bid game where he scored in the shootout was pretty rocking for a preseason game. That's the only one I've ever been to that had any real atmosphere.

Hmm... I remember that too. But I don't remember if it was the same game.

Yup.

That might have been a pre-season game, but it was a top 3 game I've ever attended in person.

Guys that should be working hard to earn jobs are doing okay. Reiders been fine. Mangipane showing a flash here and there as well. The roster locks had a spurt or two in between lulls. Backlund displaying some new speed IMO. Tkachuk doing his thing without skipping a beat it seems.

Battle of the Blades. Reality TV show. Fleury did it a few years ago IIRC.

Still waiting for the second half where the figure skaters play hockey.

pylon gave me free tickets. Brought my friend to what I’m pretty sure was her first NHL game. Memorable for sure.

Kind of a shame Kylington hasn’t shown more, or enough to stick, up to this point. Should he end up in Stockton one would hope he matures with lots of minutes and grows into a solid future Flame.

Anyone that can tell me why I can’t airplay the Facebook feed to Apple TV? Flames app works fine but would like the better quality. Thanks

Every time I see Big Ern, my thoughts immediately go to the fight of all fights with torts in the dressing room. Forever embedding in my brain.

Amazing game. The crowd wasn't actually that into the game at the beginning, just waiting for Fleury. We had two guys beside us that were butthurt over fans loving Fluery. They figured no one would care for the "washed up A-hole", and mentioned it out loud until he hopped over the boards for his first shift to a standing ovation.
