My main concern is that the first game back from a road trip is typically problematic. We have to overcome this AND a pissed off Calgary team.

I mean....I guess...?

But, with this first game back from a road trip we're facing a team that had to make the same exact trip as us AND played last night.

Absolutely no excuses for tonight - we should win this game.

We just swept the Western Canada roadtrip for the first time in over twenty years. We are on a six game winning streak and have shown we can beat any team in the league. Devils have given us 0 reason to believe we will come out with a post-roadtrip hangover. Everyone stay aboard the hype train!

Sutter not holding back.

Massive drop off in ATOI from #5D Zadorov (19:27) to #6D Stone (13:13).

Tanev is 4th overall in ATOI for Calgary at 20:40.

Even aside from the roster changes from last year.... I just think last year's Calgary team got tremendously lucky with their health for the whole season. Most teams would be better if their starters are all healthy.

Still - Calgary is a good, to very good team. My only cause for concern is the law of average with both teams' current streaks. So at least if they play well - then i'll be happy

Flames third pairing D are garbage . Hard to shelter them when we have last change!
Our speed is going to demolish that pairing even more than the rest of their old crusty team . Lucic and Lewis … were maybe good in 2010 … and Rooney ..

Hughes and Bratt are going to feast on Mackey and DeSimone . Nico line as well . I can’t see how Sutter will be able to keep those two away from one of our top two lines.
Even if he can , our other lines are hood enough to take advantage of those two .

They definitely got weaker by subtracting Johnny Hockey and Tkachuck and adding Huberdeau and Weegars. Those were core guys for them and the people added play a totally different style and were successful in Florida in a very different system.
Meh , I don’t know . Johnny was not built fur playoff hockey . Yes he wasn’t as bad as people say , but he still wasn’t anywhere near as effective as his regular season. Weegar in and Gudbransen out was a big upgrade. Not sure if Huberdeau can be as effective in Calgary as he was in Florida .
They kicked out last year with injuries and some players having career years at the same team.
They are hurting on D and have next to zero chemistry on forwards groups. They lack an elite finisher. Lindholm is about their best goal scorer . Toffoli is decent but nothing scary

Added Kadri as well. So far, looking like a net loss though. They better get it together soon as those contracts will be ugly in a few years.

I believe they tried to get Mackey out against our 4th line in Calgary (Stone got injured) and it led to 2 goals from them.

Always love seeing Coleman. Would be perfect on our 3rd line at 50% retained!!!

We already have a 23 year old right handed Coleman

Win tonight and it shouldn't be hard to push it to 10. Ottawa, Arizona, and Montreal after tonight

A good game or good effort is most I hope, since this is a classic setup of autoloss because the flames get the rare advantage of the instant revenge schedule.

The cheapest tickets online are still like $20-25 after service fees, that doesn't suggest huge crowd - do you guys sort results by price or something else? I know Ryan posted he saw a lot of traffic going into Newark but there's also another reason why there'd be traffic this Tuesday.
