Can't wait to hear Beasley say, "Number 68... JAROMIR JAGR!!!"

Both teams coming in disappointed with their openers. Hopefully flames take advantage of it being the home opener and get the W.

Go Flames.

The GOAT's Prayer



Our Jagr
Who art in Kladno
Hallowed by thy mane
Thy kingdom come
Thy will be done
At home as it is on the road
Give this day our daily win
And forgive us our turnovers
As we take advantage of those who turnover against us
And lead us not into the lottery
But deliver us from Brouwer
Amen

sorry for the blasphemy thought it was too funny not to share

My 6 year old's first words, when she came to wake me up this morning, were: It's hockey night in Calgary!
I love this time of year.

Please just get the 2 points. Don't let the opening night embarrassment snowball into another crappy October.

Flames win. Johnny with two, Jagr gets his first flames point, Bennett schools Trouba, and Monahan with the game winner.

Lazar took first reps with Bennett and Versteeg here. Jagr with Hrivik and Freddie Hamilton. #Flames

Decent indication Jagr won’t go, but we will hear/see.

Yeah I get the feeling the team will come out flying tonight. Hopefully they get the offense straightened out and bury this carnival act disguised as an NHL hockey team.

This really should surprise no one.

Dude hasn't skated with a team for 5 months. He is 45 years old. It will take him some time to get anywhere near where he needs to be to play NHL hockey. For his own health as much as anything he needs some conditioning.

I thought he might give it a try anyways because...well.....because he is Jaromir freaking Jagr.

If Jagr isn't good to go can you at least for the love of god keep Brouwer away from Bennett and leave him on the 4th?!

I expect a fired up first line tonight. They know they weren't up to much Wednesday.

I also expect someone to smash Trouba and Glass to hit scheifele.

Looks like Lazar will keep jagr spot on third line warm tonight.

Best part of this news is Brouwer is starting on 4th line

not definitive as it is an optional morning skate today and I believe Brouwer is not on the ice.
