Default Do or Die. Flames vs Sabers - 5:30 PM - SNET960 - SNET West

Today is a do or die game for the Flames. Will they show up prepared and ready to play at puck drop.

Goalies need to be razor sharp and ready to make some big saves.

Its gut check time for the Flames. Go Flames Go!

...did you know that among his other dubious talents, That Darn Puppet is a dance instructor? Here he is, teaching the finer points of the Sabre Dance to a thrilled student:

Do it or die, remind me of a song in the late 80's. Go Flames!

Need this win. Simple as that. No excuses to not win this game. If we lose we deserve to miss the playoffs.

If the Flames lose this one it will be like passing the last chance gas station (next gas 300 km) then turn to the passenger and say“ don’t worry we’ll be fine.”
Inevitably at 280 km the car starts chugging. Oh oh!

I must have missed a memo - Eichel is injured? He killed the Flames last time.

If Eichel is out, there's no excuse not beat the Sabres like 6-2 or something

Sabres are playing their best hockey of the entire season.

Won 4 of their last 6 after Chad Johnson has taken over the net. Flames G's? Not so much.

Also Buffalo lead the entire league in PP goals since Jan. 7 according to the morning guys...so the Flames need to stay out of the box. If you take a penalty, take one of them with you.

Need a whole lot more from Monahan and Gaudreau than we have been seeing.

The Sabres' top offensive player skated on his own Saturday for the first time since suffering a high ankle sprain Feb. 10 in Boston, coach Phil Housley said after practice Sunday in KeyBank Center. Eichel, however, is still not ready to practice with the team and there's no timetable for any sort of return to action.

Shoot high glove on Chad. I wonder what the PP is like since Eichel went down.

This song should be the official anthem for the playoff hunt:

Flames are a mixed bag of meh in Buffalo over the years but I expect a win tonight regardless. Chad Johnson is very beatable. Everyone in the Flames room should know this. Play angry. Like you're down 2-0 to Pittsburgh angry.

Flames win it 5-3

Think we might get a surprise start from Smith tonight? Looks like hes moving well. Kind of at the last chance in hell part of the season.
