"Hold your ground - hold your ground! Sons of Calgary - of Canada . . . my brothers! I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me. The day may come when the courage of Men fails; when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship; but it is not this day - an hour of Canucks and shattered sticks, when the Age of Man comes crashing down - but it is not this day!! This day we fight! By all that you hold dear on this good earth - I bid you stand, men of the west! " - Jarome Iginla

"Arise! Arise, Flames of Calgary! Fell deeds awake, fire and slaughter! Hits shall be thrown! Sticks shall be splintered ! A Canadian day ! A hockey day ! Ere the sun rises ! Play now! Play now ! Play ! Play for the win, and the two points ! Win ! Win ! Wiiiiiiinnn!" - Bob Hartley

[Flames Fanatic]

I wouldn't be surprised if we see the Anton in relatively soon. Lots of teams hurting for defensive depth and he's expendable to us, so him being showcased isn't out of the question.

 

[Thumper17]

My God, The Anton and Hudler in the same GDT.

What's GM Place?

It's the Rogers Arena now

Game Notes

Chris Butler sucks

Will be nice to come back home 3-0 from this road trip. Hopefully Irving has a strong outing and doesn't give up any bad goals.

Let's go Flames!

Three stars:
Irving

Book it!

 

[Tkachuky]

Its a toss up tonight. It all depends on Irving, if he is pretty solid I see this as a 3-2 game.

Tanguay, Iginla, Wideman

H Sedin, Kassian

Who said anything about GM Place?

Updated the lines. Street will be in between Cervenka and Hudler tonight. Also updated pictures courtesy of TBro. They fit surprisingly well with the Rolling Stones video.

 

[Bosnian Beast]

I never realized how massive those were when I was cropping them last night

Anyway, the idea was from DuckSauce who said that our team is practically a bunch of senior citizens, with multiple players (well, two) going down with hip flexors.

 

[I Hate Blake Coleman]

Flames need a new goal song. "Barbara Streisand" is too young and hip.

I propose this:

 

[MuffinMerc]

This game depends on the team showing immediate intensity as soon as the pick drops. None of that crap we saw in Columbus. Also Irving needs to play great.

 

[Svenner]

After seeing Luongo I think we still look pretty young:

Thats interesting. I don't see why they wouldn't put Stajan

Spread out the scoring? Hudler and Cervenka can do all the work with Street. If Stajan was back on the 2nd, Stempniak could have potentially been the only one who could create chances.

 

[TheHudlinator]

Thats interesting. I don't see why they wouldn't put Stajan

Most likely trying to have 2 semi strong lines versus a strong one and a weak one Street just has to give the puck to the Cezhs and go to the net.

I would hate to see
Comeau - Street - Stempniak get stuck on the ice against the twins.

True, if he fits in with them I have no problem with this. If he doesnt I'd rather have 2 dangerous lines than 3 balanced.

Legendary GDT

Hope i'm around tonight to watch it, should be a good'r.

 

[InfinityIggy]

First of all awesome gdt. Nice job man! Secondly GFG.

 

[Gritty]

After seeing Luongo I think we still look pretty young:

Hahaha, that's great!

We played well last game against the nucks, and we are coming off of two solid performances... I bet the guys are all reved up for this one! Coming home 3 - 0 on the road against two very good teams would be a huge confidence booster! I say the Flames give it all they've got and come away with a
3 - 2 Win!!!

Tangs, Hudler, GlenX

GO FLAMES GO!!!!!!!!!

 

[MarkGio]

Solid GDT. I remember a tine where GDTs were a single sentence.

I'm nervous about tonight. The Flames need to bring it in order to pull off a win

Ah the days of yore! When four pages was a good night.

 

[YMCMBYOLO]

The Flames need to put the pressure on in the beginning of the game.

Hoping for a good effort! (aren't we all?)

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

Were expecting the birth of my daughter today, good omen! Flames hammer them 5-2!

GFG!!!!!!!!!!
