YMMV, but Google Maps is awesome for this
Literally type "places to watch the game in Vancouver" and you'll see options. It's a gamechanger, and I'm always finding great spots wherever I go

Smith's only shaky game recently was against the Wild, so I am perfectly comfortable if he gets the start. Go Flames Go!!!

I have this as being a Smith start -- a good game to score a few and get him back in the win column. Flames take it 5-2.
GFG!

I don’t know what to think about the starter for this game. I actually think I would play Rittich at home after he had such a great performance on Tues, and then start Smith in Vancouver. Curiously, the Flames have dropped 3/4 to the Canucks this year, and both goalies have not been good in any of those games. However, Smith has the only win.
I am not sure what I would do.

I'm fine with Smith in tonight but really I'd still give it to Rittich. Get him in a groove.
The Flames by and large haven't been good against Vancouver this year but Rittich has let in fewer against them. Give him that start too.

Your stupid agenda is well noted, no need to bring it up every single game day.

Flames Win = 1.4
Overtime = 4.4
Senators Win = 4.25
Over 6.5 = 1.9
Under 6.5 = 1.55
Hopefully this isn't like the game in Ottawa where the Flames played down to the their opponent. I believe Chabot is still out so Ottawa's already thin defense looks even more atrocious. Flames should be able to fill the net against these guys, so even if there's a Smith brain fart tonight we still get the two points (though he has been fine since he channeled his inner Ty Conklin behind the net in the Minnesota game). I'm hoping the guys who missed the last couple games get back into the lineup and onto the score sheet. 5-2 Flames, GFG! Also, go Kings!

I've generally found that a pleasant request at most bars will result in them finding the game and putting it on one screen you can see. Vancouver and Victoria places seem to be fairly agreeable for this unless the 'Nucks are playing at the same time (and even occasionally if they are and the bar is not super busy).

This is probably the most lopsided projection I've ever seen for a game on The Athletic:

Canucks have won 3 straight and are only 4 points back of the last WC spot. That's not gonna be an easy game, as they'll certainly be pumped up to play the Flames. Also Markstrom always stands on his head against us. I'd definitely go with Rittich for that game, as he gives us the best chance to win.

I disagree about this. The story of the series between the Canucks and Calgary has been ALL about goaltending: the Canucks have had it, and the Flames have not. The team as a whole looked bad in Game #1, but in all three of the other games completely dominated. The last two losses were a combination of below average performances by Rittich, and exceptional work by Markstrom.

Guess I'm harder on the team when it comes to games against the Canucks.
Still, I go with Rittich.
Related to tonight, Bennett & Monahan officially in:

If anything, it really underscores how lopsided the play has been that the Canucks' shots are going in 2.5X as often as ours and the last 2 games still went to OT.
