[GDT] Flames @ Ducks 8:00 MT SNW

[Gaskal]

That's enough in Korean Won to buy a pretty decent gaming PC.

D-First tonight, leave the train in the box, no chance of a wreck that way. I'll be happy for that, and take the rest as it comes.

Honestly, D wasn't THAT bad last night. The team needs to be aggressive if they're gonna score at least 3 goals. Playing to tenative is just gonna lead to games where they can't even score a goal, and the other team wins because they're opportunistic.

We wouldn't be complaining about the D if this team actually had scorers on the roster. The Flames can get shots, but they can't finish since they lack enough players that are opportunistic when they get a scoring chance. That's what's holding the team back; not converting on chances enough.

so after finally winning at the Honda centre, are the flames officially removed from the curse? What's our record there since finally winning there?

This should be a W for the flames, and I expect nothing less.

Of course the same could be said for games against the kings, Habs, sent, etc, so who knows what happens

I would like to see at least 5 shots this game where the goalie has to move to make a save

[KootenayFlamesFan]

Probably a good thing they get right back at it tonight after a less than stellar effort. A lot of bad bounces last night, giveaways, etc.......just not a great night.

I expect to see a much better effort tonight. And a 3-1 road trip is pretty nice. Looking forward to watching this one.

Just play hard, and dont collapse after the first hint of adversity. That's all I ask at this point

Or just enough in Vietnamese Dong to get you a nice steak dinner with a glass of wine. Not a full bottle though, just a glass.

GO FLAMES GO )))))

Over the last 6 games or so, each time I've watched, the Flames have won. Each time I've been unable to watch, they've lost. Tonight, I'll be watching.

Actual Split 0/1

Third Best Option:

Yah - it was pretty bad. Spent a lot of time chasing pucks and running madly off in all directions. To be fair, so did the forwards...but with less chasing, especially on the dump and chase.

Maybe I need to lay down a bet against the Flames to ensure a win?

Too bad Sport Select does not allow single game wagers.

[GioforPM]

Any more flu rumours? Hopefully Bennett will be the only guy affected.

According to Sportsclub Stats, last night's loss to the Kings decreased our playoff chances by a stunning 10.1% to 45%.....

[Lanny'sDaMan]

I couldn't start the GDT today as I lost last night. Plus I am seriously ill and have been out of bed all of 20 minutes total today to visit the loo.



Come on, Flames give me a reason to not be fully miserable.....
