Looking at our defence on a lineup card never gets old. Insane.

 

[Cousin Eddie]

They should lose this one. Emotional games like last night suck the energy out of teams. Add in the fact that it was a long day yesterday with the whole early arrival red carpet thing and the late night travel heading into the B2B, this game is served on a platter for the Flames home opener.

If they find a way to win this I’ll be beyond impressed but everything’s against them.

WCF preview. Book it.

Also, this game should be a scheduled loss.

Avs win 5-1.

Yep, this is a scheduled loss.

Stanley Cup and still having all these late start games…by the 2nd period pretty much out of energy and go into sleep mode. It was rough enough having these kind of start playing the Ducks, Kings, and Sharks…now just random games. Ugh…really hate who ever is in charge scheduling!

 

[Koolboss]

This will never be the same without Kadri

It is more to do with timezones than anything else. No idea why Calgary likes to start games at the bottom of the hour, but most games are designed to start around 7pm local time except on weekends.

If only he wasn't that greedy and decided to sign with the Avs for 4M$/year !!

 

[The Moops]

Epic GDT

Easy win. Scheduled win. Whatever you wanna call it. Flames haven’t won a season opener since 2009, won’t be changing tonight. Mack & Makar lead the way.

 

[ASmileyFace]

Must win

 

[GoNordiquesGo]

Kadri with 2 goals!

 

[shadow1]

I'm glad Colorado gets to play a champion this early in the season.

Calgary will show them what real depth looks like.

Apparently the short summer was just long enough for me to start to forget how good those two are. Holy crap they were flying all over last night.

 

[Cousin Eddie]

We’re all going to hate Kadri so much by the end of the first period tonight lol.

 

[Spilot23]

We’re all going to hate Kadri so much by the end of the first period tonight lol.

After his flying elbow on Makar. Instead of a standing ovation in Denver he gets booed.

 

[henchman21]

We’re all going to hate Kadri so much by the end of the first period tonight lol.

 

[CharlesPuck]

Great early test for the Avs. Easy, easy win last night where they never looked threatened. Followed up by a great Calgary team looking to stake their claim to the Western Conference.

Will be interesting to see how the boys come out tonight.

 

[Tralfamadore]

Apparently the Flames have lost 12 straight home openers. That's crazy.

 

[TheRarestDangles]

Breh. That's hilarious

 

[The Kingslayer]

Might be the most obvious scheduled loss of the season. Not sure why the cup champs have to play B2B to open the season AND travel to do so. Hope the Flames start off as slow as their Alberta counterparts did last night.

 

[The Kingslayer]

Avs win 5-1.

I know he wasnt a great coach but i miss Roy coaching in the NHL.

 

[Chiarelli]

I predict we get caved in but Franky steals us one tonight. Lots of change to flames roster they’ll need time to iron the wrinkles.
