It's actually good to know the Flames do have some great leadership in the locker room. I find it hard to believe that Gio will go down without a fight.

We need Sam to throw just one devastating hit on MacKinnon and he's finished. He's already hearing footsteps when Sam does flybys. He is also possibly the only checker with foot speed that can keep up too.

When it's Bennett... all he needs is one good blast straight from the fiery depths of hell and level MacKinnon into another plane of existence. If Nathan can even continue afterwards he won't ever want to share the same ice as Benny again.

Okay, relentless positivity, I've been extremely happy with Bennett, he's stepped his game up as I'd hoped he would and has probably been our most consistent forward effort-wise.

Smith has been a thrill to watch, he's playing with pride and heart and is showing he's still easily an NHL caliber goalie, and a very good one at that when it matters. I want us to win if even for his relentless effort alone, he deserves success.

Rasmus Andersson is going to be an all-star at some point in his career, perhaps even within the next couple seasons. His progression has been astounding and I've had no problem whatsoever with his performance in our series. Valmiaki looked decent to me as well in the lone game he played in this series.

GFG!

You know what. Flames are going to pull this off. Thinking about it - even though Colorado has dominated the team since game 1. They're lucky to be leading this series even though the flames have been an absolute disaster.

Start off with a big game 5 win and go from there.

Go Flames Go!

I don't know why but the Sharks winning their game 5 makes me feel even more optimistic about tomorrow. And I was already on the side that says they are going to win tomorrow and comeback to win the series.

And this will lead to Landeskog losing his mind since he is such a hot head, he'll chasing Bennett all over the ice. One big hit effectively take out 2 players!

3-1 shouldn’t be that daunting of a lead to over come.

Just win game 5 at home. Once you do that you just need one road win. Then it’s game 7. Having last change will allow Backlumd to take care of Makinnon. We have been winning with 3 minutes to go in 3/4 games.

We got game 5.

Dammit, you guys have convinced me. If there’s going to be a monumental comeback, why not us.

In the words of Theo Fleury, “Don’t quit before the miracle”. Gooooooo Flames!

Last time Neal was out of the lineup, we won 7 straight. By my math, that puts us in the Conference Finals! Woo woo!

It's all part of the story. This losing streak will only make that game 7 victory that much sweeter.

We have nothing to lose tonight. Let's give them Fire and Ice and pull out a dominant victory and reset this series 1 game at a time.

And thank you to Mike Smith for being ridiculously awesome in net for this series.

Let the chants of "SMITTY" be loud, and the "Go Flames Go" chants be even louder.

Also, repeat after me if the refs give us a dumb penalty (because it's going to happen and the zebras are seriously braindead this series):

"Now Gio, Now Brodie, Now Garnet and Ryan!
On Janko, On Elias, On Hammer and Hanifin!
To the top of the dots! No surrender, no fall!
Now kill away, shorty away, PK it all!"

Me too. It was supposed to be a link to the NHL 99 "we can be heroes" opening video.

Flames have never lost a playoff series at home wearing the red retro (and when they were the regular style) jerseys.
