It's obvious they're fixated on those Vegas pacific time viewers.

I agree about the fighting for loose pucks hypothesis. It seems like every time the Flames are dominating play, that is exactly how and why they achieve it. In general we look like a faster team, but it's hard for us to use that speed when they have the puck all the time.

I feel like this game will be a blow-out one way or another. I'm going to predict that the top line shows up again and the Stars have no answer. One goal for each of them and couple from the blue line.

Yeah they know Canadian fans will watch at anytime.

Vegas and Chicago are two of the biggest TV markets in the US for the NHL and they want that matchup in prime-time.

Canucks as well as they have played most of their games at the 8:30 slot.

A day may come when the courage of the Flames fails, when they forsake their fans and break all bonds of fellowship. ... An hour of wolves and shattered sticks when the age of the Flame comes crashing down! But it is not this day! This day they fight! By all that you hold dear on this good Earth, I bid you stand!



Go Flames Go!

Time to see if this team has the testicular fortitude to lay it all on the line for a big two points.

The points don’t get much huger than these two.

If Giordano and Lindholm can both play at their best, we should be fine.

Hopefully Gaudreau continues his play from Game 4, and Giordano has a better game. I think we have a really good chance to have a win today.

Let’s go boys!!

I’m hoping that we avoid the gaffes from last game and tighten up on the discipline. Those were the difference makers last game imo. Big win today coming up!

First time ever Flames play on my dad's B-day (77). That does not work!!!! He was born in 43 so 4-3 it is.

3-0 Dallas after two (CP melts down) but 4 unanswered goals by the Flames in the third (so that CP still has no clue what the Flames are!)
