I can only watch 2/3 of games and since we're not scoring tonight I'll choose to make tonight one of the 1/3.

Oh man. All Kuemper needs to do is stop every shot and he will get a shutout. I'm nervous about him getting a shutout. A shutout would be bad for us.

Yeah, pretty simple, right? An easy shutout for Kuemper.

P.S. Are you really a Flames' fan living in Panama?

I like it. Also prevents the block and breakaway combo if the high winger gets a lucky bounce off their shin pad.

Fun fact: Kuemper is a German word meaning 'shutout'

Going to this one tonight. First time sitting in the club seats. Are these really better seats? Paid a little extra for them, hope they’re worth it.

I am a Canadian that moved from Calgary to Panama. I'm back in Calgary for a while right now but will move back to Panama in August. If that makes sense.

Off topic but related to your question. In a Flames Fan Facebook group with about 13k members, there is one member that lives in Cuba and has never even been to North America or even seen any game live. A few years ago a couple was travelling to Cuba and stayed at the resort he was working at. They talked about hockey and the Flames, and when they left they gave him some clothes, some of which had some Flames logos on it.

Since then he watches whatever games he can online and orders or has Flames gear shipped to him regularly, and he's become a die-hard fan.

Just think it's cool that a Cuban native has become a massive Flames fan, thanks to a travelling couple and the Flames gear they left.

Should be a good game. Coyotes are still in the playoff race, so this is pretty much a 4 point game.

Of course, totally. But it would have been much more exciting if you actually were a Panamanian living in Panama and cheering for Calgary (like the Cuban guy in the post above).

He's so lucky that the couples are Flames fans and not Oilers fans.

Download the Saddledome app. You can order booze or food directly to your seat, anytime during the game. It’s unreal.

In the club section you won't need too download the app. They have a server for each section that will come around and you can order through them. I believe there's a bit more selection on the menu as well.

Also, what I enjoy most about them at least is the buffet beforehand. You can call and make a reservation or also can book it on OpenTable. I would highly recommend it and IMO it's half the reason you would buy the club seats in the first place. Want to say it's about 30 per person but all you can eat and I find the food to be quite good. You can also reserve a table for intermissions this way or keep your tab open so when you come out to the club area you have food or drinks that you've previously requested waiting at your table for you.

Ok Bernie Sanders!

What a great story.

Go Flames Go. Take what you learned from the last trap game with CBJ and apply it against the boring Coyotes

Was out last night and wound up meeting and chatting with Dube. Seems like a good guy. He had some funny things to say about the Oilers.
