[GDT] Tonight! Live from the Scotiabank Saddledome. Flames - Oilers - SN960

[Otto-matic]

The Flames will kick off the 2017 pre-season with a pair of games against the Edmonton Oilers on Monday, Sept. 18.

The annual split squad match-ups will feature one game played at the Scotiabank Saddledome and the other at Rogers Place.

Both games are set for 7:00 p.m. MT starts and will be streamed on CalgaryFlames.com (in-market only due to broadcast restrictions).

Calgary will announce their rosters for each game on Monday morning

Heading into the pre-season, Gulutzan has a specific target for his veteran players to ensure they're in prime condition for the regular season.

"They'll play four (games)," Gulutzan said on Sunday. "Barring any sort of knick or anything like that, they'll all play four games. Home and away won't play into it. They'll play four games, some home and some road.

"We'll get the lineup as close as we can for the last two (games) - it will be really close for them, it might be the lineup for the last two, but they're all going to get four."

Finally - The summer is over and its hockey season!

Excited to see the new uniforms in action as well as Lack/Smith playing.

Are they going to claim that Saskatchewan is out-of-market? I'll blow a gasket.

If its like last year, yes. Saskatchewan is out of market and we won't get the game.

I asked this in the training camp thread and I'll pout it here too in case anyone can answer it:

I want to know what they mean by broadcast restrictions because they sure as heck weren't in play as recently as 2015 and nothing has changed in regards to rules or contracts. All that has changed is the NHL hosts the site (I believe).

Any media types around that can shed some light on this for me? Thanks!

As I recall, people tried VPN last year and that did not work?
The usual non legal sources are showing links for it already.

Sounds like he is also not pleased with how things were run last year.

I will say, although the initial starting point of last season was horrendous, and at times put players into positions that made it feel as if he had never seen tape on the Flames, he showed a pleasant openness to correct his mistakes over the course of the season. (Of course, there will always be specific gripes).

CSEC has probably infested the Saddledome with raccoons.

It's listed, but when I go to look at viewing options, it says that there won't be any video available, which is different than the other games.

Oh well, I might just have to rely on a play by play report from good old Calgary Puck while listening on the radio.

[Northendzone]

who do we think the flames will use to lock down mcdavid and neon leon?

big game for sure though.
