[GDT] Anaheim Ducks @ Calgary Flames (SN West)

[direwolf]

No reason why the Flames shouldn't run away with this one. The only wildcard is Miller, who stood on his head in his last game against us. Granted, that game was at the Honda Center and that place is cursed.

Ducks have won 2 in a row as well, so I hope the Flames don't take them too lightly.

I get the feeling that the Ducks will find a way to show up for the Flames, but they've been so horrible this year I wonder what that even amounts to anymore.
Gibson can shut the door pretty well also... but 3-1 Flames

Edit: But it'll be Miller... so 5-1 Flames

Miller went silly mode last game and was really good.

^ Ah, yes. I forgot about that

At least whoever's in net can turn a potential stinker into a good one!

Well gulp. It’s my big 4-0 today. I hate the ducks with a passion. So obviously 4-0 flames but I will also take 9-3 flames in honor of me staying 39 in spirit forever.

I'd rather 4-0. Our goalies getting shutouts would make me more confident down the stretch

Best ride after a long day at the park though. Rest your legs, and catch some z's. lol.

Getting annoying that it seems like the team views Rittich as not a long term option and would still rather defer to the aging vet on an expiring deal. Smith has been better but how does a goalie win back the starters net after a season of awful play with 3 above average performances? Especially when the other goalie has an amazing record.

OK 4-0 if Rittich starts, 9-3 if Smith starts, both of those are realistic possibilities

Just cheer them on and drink and enjoy !!!!

No matter who is playing - LETS JUST WIN!!!

Go FLAMES

Hopefully the haze from last night's Snoop show clears out before puck drop. Could lead to a sluggish affair otherwise...

Let's keep the current roll going, and bury these clowns. 5-2 Flames, with the top line getting back on track with a combined 6 points, and Bennett and Chucky chipping in as well.

[CN10]

Sportselect Info
Ducks Win = 3.75
Goes to OT = 4.1
Flames Win = 1.5
Over 5.5 = 1.5
Under 5.5 = 1.95

Hopefully this is the year where we can finally start beating these bags on a regular basis. Bennett tunes up Kesler to galvanize the team and the new look second line ensures Getzlaf spends most of the night in his own zone. Flames win 3-2, GFG!

Not a huge fan of this. Rittich was playing unbelievable and Smith was playing like garbage... and Smith still got more starts in between than Rittich has been getting.

I don't know what's happening in the locker room but I don't imagine Rittich's confidence is at an all time high right now.
