Hamilton plays San Antonio later this afternoon so the Flames REALLY need to win this one. This would be a HUGE moral builder as well as get them in a playoff spot.

Flames PBP guy says that Huska called out Poirier after last night's game for being invisible. Said it isn't acceptable. He needs to play better.
Hopefully we have a pissed off Poirier playing tonight ready to punish the Griffins.

Puck drop has been moved to 2:10pm as it sounds like the Griffins are doing some pre-game ceremony.

FLAMES GOAL!
1-0 Flames
18 seconds into the game. I have no idea who scored, the Griffins looked like they scored on themselves. Goalie put the goal in on himself.

Sieloff continuing to play a solid physical game. He's finishing checks and the look pretty solid.

I'd say message received by Poirier. He's certainly not invisible in the first few minutes here. Zipping all over the ice and in front of the net.

Flames seem to be doing a good job keeping up with the Griffins. Looking far better than they did against Rockford.
Thiessen and McCollum both having to work early on.

Griffins PBP are whining about Tousignant and Wotherspoon having the audacity to speak with a couple Griffins after the horn.

That kid talking to Wotherspoon would have been killed if Wotherspoon chose to fight him. He was at least twice his size. I was kind of hoping he would just stick his hand out to hold him back while the kid started swinging.
