After feeding the turtle some mango this morning, I asked what he thought of tonight's game. He tells me the score will be 6-1 domination. I can't tell if it's his hatred for the Oilers talking, or just the fact that he wants to be fed ANOTHER HUGE 2 POINTS. GO FLAMES GO!!

If you look at where the Oilers are in the standings this is a HUGE must win game for them. The Flames will need to have a better effort than they have put forth in the last few games to get a win tonight.

That being said I believe in Bill Peter's. If the Flames can match the Oilers intensity they should be able to savage the Oilers terrible blueline. I would love nothing more than to see them destroy the Oiler's so bad that McDavid puts in his trade request tomorrow.

Go Flames Go!!

5-0 Flames.
I am also making the trip north with my Stampeders hat and my Flames jersey to check out Rogers Arena with fellow CPer Jimmy Stang just after lunch.

I am expecting to see a result close to your prediction. GFG!

Just saying.

Surprised some think Czarnik has been better than Mangiapane. They have both had prime scoring opportunities and haven’t finished but the big difference is the compete level. Mangiapane’s battle for loose picks is way higher than Czarnik’s and I suspect that’s why he is in the line up over Czarnik.

They have similar skill set, the difference is Mangiapane is a pit bull out there and Czarnik is a bit of a poodle.

Tonight is game 7 of the Cup final for the Oilers. No doubt they'll be ready to play. However, if the Flames can score a couple of early goals, they'll fold easily. If the Oilers get the early lead, it might be a tough slog as they'll just sit back and clog up the neutral zone.

But man, that Oilers lineup is just awful. Outside of McDoofus and Draisaitl, there's really nothing there. Frankly I'm amazed that they've even been able to beat sub-par teams like Arizona and the Canucks. On paper this should be an easy win, but I have a bad feeling the Flames will be tired and they might lay an egg in this one. I hope I'm wrong.

In addition to expecting Czarnik to draw in I would also expect 3M to be broken up tonight. Not a good line for the road.

It must be my conditioning as a Flames fan to always expect the worst.

The Flames are starting to create separation in the division. They are neck and neck for first in the west, and in the conversation for tops in the league.

Yet I look at potential first round matchups against a handful of wildcard opponents, namely the Oilers, and my anxiety skyrockets to unsafe levels.

It shouldn't be that way, but it is.

Getting harder to remember but I preferred Dube to either.

Hey man. The meat grinder when grinding up beef hamburger a few years ago leaked just the smallest amount of gear oil into the meat. Thinking such a meager amount no big deal, carried on.
I was wrong. Tasted horrible, do not recommend. Ruined the who batch.

Cool whip sounded reasonable to me.

We're 3-1 in our last 4 games against them, going back to last season. The Oilers only managed to score 1 goal against us in that last game, and that was without our best D man and best defensive forward in the lineup. I think the Flames have finally figured out how to defend against McLotteryball. It's just a matter of executing their game plan properly. Just be aware when he's on the ice, play him smart, get in his face, and just annoy the f*** out of him every time he's out there.

I think the Oilers know they can't outskill the flames with the shallow lineup they have and atrocious blueline, I'm expecting them to take this one to the alley again. Hopefully no injuries or the flames find a way to stay above it and do the "hurt them on the scoresheet" thing because they ain't winning that kind of battle with the lineup they're icing.
