I hope we see these lines tonight.

Cammy- Tanguay- Iggy
Glencross-Stajan- Stempniak
Hudler- Cervenka- Comeau (I guess until Baertchi is back)
Begin- Horak- Jackman

I thought I saw something about Comeau playing center for this game. Don't take it as gospel.

Oh yeah, here it is. Apparently between Glencross and Iginla, at least to start? smh

[TurnedTheCorner]

Comeau wants his head to get banged against the headboard. Uh...

Don't have a good feeling about this one at all. Flames have yet to show that they can play a full 60-minute game, and the Stars' loss to Calgary earlier in the week is probably still fresh in their minds. Dallas will come out hard in this one and not look back.

4-2 Stars.

[genetic_phreek]

Comeau gets 2 goals and 1 assist. Flames win 5-2. Book it.

[indes]

We lose 6-0 after comeau injures iginla and glencross, gets put with cervenka and hudler and kills 14 scoring chances after scoring twice on McDonald

[nickerjones]

I will be at this game in person... lets hope my record pulls to 20 wins in person and not 3 losses... ( That means I'm 19-2 while watching the Flames live 15-1 at the dome, 4-1 away from the dome)

Glad MacDonald is getting the start today. Irving was just unacceptably shaky in his last couple games. I have a feeling we haven't heard the last from him, but it just didn't look good up here.

Not sure who is going to play defense on the 3rd pairing. My guess is Babchuk and Sarich as Smith had some problems last game and I don't think the coaching staff trusts Butler at the moment. Babchuk played well enough in his first game back to continue playing.

Comeau at center, eh? This is probably more as a wake up call for Iggy and Glencross to play a more complete game or they're going to be stuck with 3rd line minutes and a poor center. I wouldn't be shocked to see Horak play with them as he had a solid first game back.

My projected lines:

Cammalleri-Tanguay-Hudler
Cervenka-Stajan-Stempniak
Glencross-Horak-Iginla --->*Comeau starts the game here and gets 3 shifts before the change.
Comeau-Begin-Jackman *Horak starts at center here.

Bouwmeester-Giordano
Wideman-Brodie
Babchuk-Sarich

MacDonald

With this lineup the Flames work hard and get a 4-2 win. Cervenka, Brodie, Stempniak, and Cammalleri for the Flames...Benn and Eakin for the Stars.

I have a hard time believing that Hartely would want the 2 slowest skaters on the same pairing. I could see Butler and Smith tonight.

Slow or not, those are probably the two most trustworthy defensemen back there. They don't have to play against top lines and all they have to do is play about 8-10 minutes, so I think it's doable.

[Artie Fufkin]

No Lehtonen.

Shoot and win.

[ComixZone]

The fact that Comeau is centering Jarome Iginla is nothing short of an embarrassment.

[krynski]

I'm excited for this! I think Comeau has great potential on the first line! not.

[Miniac]

The Flames really need Mikael Backlund back in the lineup.

[Flame19,289]

Blake! Blake! He's our man.
If he can't do it,
There's no other plan!

[GirlySports]

what's with the doom and gloom? Stars don't have a goalie either!

5-4 Flammmmmmezzzzzzzzzzzzz

[Fire in the disco]

I like long weekends

4-3 Flames iggy pots

[Miniac]

MILESTONES WITHIN REACH
Steve Bégin needs 5 games for 500.
Curtis Glencross needs 2 assists for 100 and 2 points for 200.
Cory Sarich needs 4 points for 150.
Cory Sarich needs 7 games for 900.
Matt Stajan needs 7 points for 300.

Good feeling about this game, 2-1 loss in shoot out

[PeteLFan]

I don't get why Hartley made a huge overhaul on defense after a WIN. Go with what worked last game.

Hmmm, people still say "not". Who knew?
