Icon59 e-Edmonton (34-38-9-77) @ z-Calgary (50-24-7-107) 8:00pm (SNE, SNP, SNO, SN1, CBC)

The Flames are at home in the Scotiabank Saddledome for the Battle of Alberta.



Projected starters, not confirmed at the time of posting https://leftwinglock.com/starting-goalies:
Calgary Flames – Mike Smith (now confirmed)
Edmonton Oilers – Mikko Koskinen
The Battle of Alberta usually brings the best out of both teams. The Flames are likely going to be resting some of their top players, but that shouldn’t take away from the atmosphere (especially how they can rest their top two defensive pairings and not miss a beat on the blueline).

As for the Oilers, the question will be are they playing for pride, or playing for the lottery? I have no doubt that the Oilers fans hate losing to Calgary as much as Flames fans hate losing to Edmonton.

While this game won’t affect the standings for the Flames, pride is always on the line.

Overall records:
z-Calgary Flames 50-24-7-107
e-Edmonton Oilers 34-38-9-77
This game is Hockey Night in Canada but with Winnipeg also playing it’s not across the entirety of the network as per usual. The game will be broadcast on SportsNet East, SportsNet Pacific, SportsNet Ontario, SportsNet 1, and CBC). NOTE: Winnipeg @ Arizona will be on SportsNet West.

Go Flames Go

I predict whomever starts this game in goal is our game 1 starter. I am expecting Smith to start.

The greasers will all be feeding Leon the puck so he can get his 50th goal.
I really hope the Flames put the playoff team on the ice to totally destroy them, and go into the playoffs on a high note.

Coiler fans seem to think that if the Coilers win tonight it will “Crush” the Flames spirit going into the playoffs! I don’t think they get it that the Flames really don’t care if they win, it will depend on the opponent. Is it like the kids at the Children’s Hospital where you go out, have fun and let them win or will they goon it up and the Flames just don’t want to go to the alley right the playoffs?

If the Coilers try to start something, there will be fresh sand in the Litterbox next year.

The lineups are going to be interesting. I'd like to know who the Flames are sitting.

I've always hated this chant. Especially in round one.

One game at a time people.

All I want is to get through tonight with no injuries or suspensions!

Don't get dragged down to the level of our nothing to play for/soon to be golfing rivals.

I think he signed a 3 year contract and has said that he thinks he can coach until hes 99.

I think hes just a glutton for punishment.
