Heat Injuries:
Shawn Weller, Colin Stuart, Kris Chucko, Carsen Germyn, John Armstrong, John Negrin, Andy Delmore and Brett Palin are all out with injuries.

Bulldogs:
P.K. Subban, Tom Pyatt and Ben Maxwell are with the Montreal Canadiens. Mathieu Carle, Max Pacioretty, Eric Neilson and Yannick Weber are all out with injuries. Curtis Sanford also injured, but is practicing and should be back for this series.

Side Story:
The last time these teams met, JD Watt was given a major and game for running over Bulldog goalie, Cedrick Desjardins. That led to Playfairs' stick smashing, jacket ripping outburst

I hope Bouma draws in. Want to see how he responds in a more professional league.

Isn't this every one of the Flames prospects beside Irving, Backlund and Sutter (and I guess Pelech)

I need to figure out what I'm wearing to this game tonight.

I have 3 flames jerseys, One 80's style away jersey. One current home jersey (with bouwmeester on the back), and one blank 2004-2008 ish version home jersey.

I'm not sure what AHL etiquette in this situation is... Is the bouwmeester jersey tactless? Should I wear the blank 04-08 jersey?

I'm thinking about stopping by the mall before the game and getting a blank flames jersey and having backlund sign it after the game and then getting it lettered with backlund/60..

Thoughts? :P

I think you meant to say "Playfair's awesome display of awesomeness"

A Flames jersey is a Flames jersey. We don't get any AHL jersey's here so it will fit in regardless... If I wore a Saint Johns Flames Jersey then maybe that would be tacky but all Flames is all you'll see

I'm wondering if that jersey store in the jackson square mall would have a blank home flames jersey I could pick up before the game.. I wanna call but for the life of me I cant remember the name of the store, or find it anywhere on the internet!

Is the game going to be on the FAN tonight?

It would be a good bet that they would have a jersey, home or away would be a tough call which one though.

They are pretty good for having Flames T-Shirts and such so it's very likely they have one.

I'll wear my bouwmeester jersey to the game, and stop in at that store before the game and check if they have a blank one I can have backlund sign. Worst case scenario, I'll get a new jersey before the sunday game so I can maybe catch him there

Way to go Heat! Sutter sure is having a good playoffs. Winner tonight and I believe his 9 point. Nice to see Backlund and Wahl on the scoresheet as well.

That was totally awesome <3 I had a blast at the game.

I ended up sitting next to pat quinn's sister :P, got to meet Backlund after the game, the heat won convincingly.. totally awesome night and a great start for the heat.

Sutter also looked great out there, I'm glad he's in the system
