I agree. If they continue to play the way they have the last few games, the wins will come.

Could you imagine living in Florida year round with a well paid job, enjoying the weather and going to the rink to watch hockey. I can't think of really anything better. *Re-thinks life & choices*

I suppose the only issue would be having to live in the US which I wouldn't be fond of

This is a terrific breakdown.

And the SJ Sharks can #### off.

Edged out an A on my history midterm, somehow. Seriously, I'm at a loss. So let's hope the Lightning join me tonight in that regard -- GFG!

Some day Puerto Vallarta will get an NHL team - and all will be right with the world.

I’m staying away from the GT for sure.

Tampa is a high event team, and goal scoring is expected. On CP, there are never any goals scored against the Flames without a goat.

Looking forward to the game, and the start of many games without long breaks in between

And there are micro and macro forces at work here.

The recent spotty schedule has probably done a huge amount of damage to timing and feel for both goaltenders, lines, special teams units and the team as a whole

While said break has also recharged the batteries and eliminated long term injuries etc.

When the timing and feel come back the bodies will be ready to go on a pretty good rip.

This will be an interesting benchmark. Last time they played it was very even, how do they stack up this time around? I feel like though they have arguably outplayed the opposition since the break they haven’t had ‘it’ however you define that.

Well, hopefully we can get a win tonight. We're going to the game, so watch out for four of us crazy Flames fans at Amelie Arena cheering when the boys win!

Well to be fair since most goals come from mistakes, there usually is a goat.

Flames just need to bury their chances...they have dominated during most of this "slump" just no finish
