Always take the upset in a shorter series.


Calgary is in definite underdog mod.


The first 2:25 of this video should get your blood going for today, from a video that I patched together to help players with mental prep, so the last 5 minutes are meaningless today.

Tkachuk, Bennett, Lucic and anyone else who can have to get into Hellebucyks grille. Lots of performances to watch carefully on the Flames but if they can't rattle the Jets goalie we'll lose the series. The Jets live or die with their goalie.

Interesting factoid...

Quote:
Of the 24 active clubs, the Calgarians own the fewest playoff games, with only 323 to their credit. Of the six least-experienced outfits, five are Canadian — Montreal (334), Edmonton (379), Vancouver (480), Toronto (495).

Winnipeg, by the way, isn’t super seasoned, either, with 515 notches through its roster. The most accomplished? Blake Wheeler with 48 appearances, Cody Eakin with 46.

At the other end of the scale is a hardened half-dozen with more than 1,000 games apiece — Boston, Pittsburgh, Washington, Tampa, St. Louis, Nashville.

I've had a ####ty year. I mean, we all have, but:

I lost a good friend to a hiking accident.
I lost a mentor to covid-19.
The love of my life left me just as I was preparing to propose to her.

Please, Flames, give me a ####ing win.
And then another.
And then another.
Win the Cup so this ####ty year can be remembered for something good. And FFS use Bennett well.

I love this matchup for them because I think beating the Jets will give the Flames the swagger they need to go far in the playoffs.

5-3 Flames. Sloppy game that will be nail-biter until the end.

Don't disagree but the match up to beat them is the issue.

2 things i fear

1) Offensively challenged team against the best G in the league this year is not ideal.

2) Who ever gets their emotions up and running quickest will win every series IMO. No idea how the Jets are in this regard but this iteration of the Flames have always had trouble starting quickly at a high level in my mind.

Niether of those bode well for the good guys.

First time I've ever had a Flames game on my birthday. If I am doing this right, it's going to be a big 4-1 win.

So excited for this.

Just a reminder you can still get 50/50 tix for every Flame game.

Flames foundation does tremendous work.

Looks like Dutton’s lounge is offering dome eats for delivery through Skip the Dishes for tonight’s game, it says each order comes with a Flames car flag too. Cool!

I'm with you. If there wasn't Covid-19 this would still be the worst year of my life. I need something good, fun and exciting. This year still has serious potential to get worse and a strong Flames playoffs will be a great distraction.

Have they announced starting goalie yet, or are they waiting just before game time?
