Yes I remember when they had our number for a long time. Ducks and Coyotes.

It feels like last game loss against the Preds was a pivotal moment for us. It felt like the moment when an overmatched mma fighter hangs in there early on and then in the mid- to late rounds it starts to show they were never really in it.

I guess we still have to see how this plays out.

Doesnt seem like Pelts is seizing the opportunity like id wish. That said scoring on all lines is dry as a sun-baked bone.

Anyway, yeah probably a 3-1 loss to surging Anaheim.

Oh and I'm missing this one. Got called into work.

Good luck team!

Will tonight be one of those rare nights the Flames score more than 3 hockey goals in a hockey game?!

I'll watch and just feel badly for guys like Backlund when we eventually trail 3-0 despite a 29-12 shots advantage. Spends his whole 15 yr career here and hasn't sniffed the conf. finals and only out of the first round twice (2.5 x if you want to count bubble play-in vs jets).

John "Roy" Gibson in tonight after our battle vs Hasek Annunen the other night.

Good luck with that mighty Flames snipers. He's excited to turn back the clock tonight.

Do Wolf's eat Ducks?
I'm thinking so.
I found a source that indicates that they do, but it's not a preference. They are more big-game hunters.

I think Wolf would be most comfortable playing against the Wild. Honestly should be okay against the Avalanche, and should defeat the Ducks with ease. I don't like his chances against the Predators, Bruins or certainly not the Jets.

With the Sharks it really depends on who has home ice advantage.

Wolves outlasted Sabre tooth tigers though... also Dogs > Cats

Playing the flames is the best way to boost an opposing goalies confidence, maybe Gibson will return to his Vezina contending days tonight.

Holy smokes do I just not care anymore watching Flames games. What a realization.

If you asked me who I wanted on a new jersey I would just say, "pass". I like Wolf and all, but where is Johnny or Chucky? This team's core or lack there of stinks.
