Eddie Lack needs some starts. Don't want Smith burning out.

[Northendzone]

huge game for sure. wings will be looking to extract some revenge for being eliminated from the 2004 stanley cup playoffs.

the boys had best be ready to battle from the minute the anthems are done being sung.

[bubbsy]

I'm willing to give these lines another few games, but if we get to game 20 with the same issues, I'd like to see the lines split up to spread out our high end talent across 3 lines.

Hopefully it doesn't come to that. Jankowski pots one of his arse tonight!

Flames should come out flying for this one. Played a good game against the Canucks but ran into a hot goalie. Gulutzan should have them ready to kick some ass.

5-1 Flames. Giordano, Bennett, Jagr, Monahan, and Ferland.

[Toonage]

Flames played 2 great periods on Tuesday, coach says they only played good for 10 minutes. Not sure what team we'll see out there tonight if he's looking for corrections but I think the mistakes made against Vancouver ought to be easy to clean up.

Flames win it 3-2

Goals from Gaudreau, Monahan and Jagr

[Strange Brew]

Good luck with your interview Bomber. Thanks for the OP.

[Saint Troy]

Need to see an aggressive physical forecheck right from the start for a change, as the first periods at home have been awful. Also, that bottom six need to crash the net and get an ugly one, they’ve shown an inability to cycle, so chip and crash. 4-3 Flames.

Won't show up or won't finish their chances?

[Ozy_Flame]

Dear Santa, please bring Christmas early and help Bennett pot his season first tonight. If you like Christmas spirit and the Flames (and you do), don't leave us hanging. Thanks

[Poe969]

Good luck Bomber! Thanks for the GDT

By hockey cards alone, Bartowski just looks like he doesn't belong. I feel the like the OPC Premier Jagr rookie is a sign of good luck.

6-1 Flames. Bennett with 3, Chucky with 2 and Stone with 1 on the PP. The lone wings goal happens because Bartowski messes up.

4th line never shows up 3rd line won't finish and probably won't generate a hell of a lot.

[EVERLAST]

Bennett with the Gordie Howe tonight......and a flames WIN.

[shotinthebacklund]

Dont care who or how. Score some goals. Make some saves. Win the game.

[Huntingwhale]

Last night I dreamt about Matthew Tkachuk. In my dream he was the biggest tool ever and my whole dream was me trying to get back at him and beat him up. Probably how the opposing team feels everytime they play him.

Hopefully see some of that tonight and a solid win!

hahahah....no.

[metal_geek]

They say winning streaks start with good performances in losses and losing streaks start with poor performances in win.

Stands to reason after Tuesday's games flames and oil start new streaks!
