I’m not sure CP has the energy left to explode.

Okay, then CP will implode.

I'm pretty sure CP has run out of powder. Anyone who explodes or implodes now has just not been paying attention lol.

Bet on the Flames today after betting on the Sens Thursday. Only the 2nd time this year I've bet on the Flames, usually bet against them more than on them. I expect them to pull it off to quell any blow it up convos for at least a day.

4 2 Flames

Is there any word on Markstrom?

Still out. Rittich and Zagidulin are in net.

[blazingZepplin]

I think the flames will come out flying but rittich will let in a stinker and deplate the the momentum

[VladtheImpaler]

Needless to say, I will be watching Leeds-AV - that should be a fun game. Go Flames... wherever it is we are going.

[BurningSteel]

Bennett with hat trick.

Not if you want to get chastised by the CP Flames apologists like I did two weeks ago! Or perhaps it was just because I recognize it too early, I dunno.

No hoping for losses allowed. Way too forward thinking of you.

[Jbo]

At least it will be over early..

[Aeneas]

Hoping to be entertained.
I would like a fourth line of Rinaldo Ritchie and Robinson.
That would entertain me.

I find it sad how little I expect from this group. Nonetheless I am expecting a win today.

[kermitology]

Flames look okay to start, but after giving up a quick goal they just give up and we see a repeat of last game. 8-1 final.

[Mr.Coffee]

Calgary is going to come out flying and destroy today, and the cycle of inconsistency will continue. I predict a 50 min effort followed by next game, another subpar effort. Since last game was bad effort this will be decent one.

And the cycle will continue.

It was because (a) you were a dick about it and (b) hoping for losses isn’t “forward thinking”. You were chastised by more than apologists.

As for allowed, how come everyone could see the post?

[ThisIsAnOutrage]

There's no reason we can't be inspired by this game by using a little imagination.

Don't think of the Flames as an underperforming professional hockey team, think of them as an over-performing group of terminally ill children whose make-a-wish dream was to play in the NHL!

[Puppet Guy]

You know it's a crisis when even You Know Who can't be bothered to devise new atrocities. Another rerun:

Spoiler!

Go Flames

Uhhh..so hoping for the team you invest time in and cheer for to lose the games you watch because your invested.....is now some sort of new-age "forward" thinking is it?

Man am I out of touch.

I guess me and Herm are nuts because i have always thought...

At the end of the day fans can cheer for loses or wins. Some fans want the tank to continue to see a top 3 pick and changes and some fans want to win and see the team get into the playoffs and make a run.



Flames win 4-2
