[Unlimited Chequing]

Sweet. They're not starting any goalies. We just might win this!

 

[Anglesmith]

I have a good feeling about this.

 

[Janks]

I think the boys come ready to play today. Not sure why I'm feeling this way, but I'm optimistic. Expecting Money and Johnny to have big nights on Ocho Cinco.

 

[Tkachuky]

Flames win tonight and start a 3 game win streak.

 

[FlamerForLife]

Game 1 of a 15 game win streak.

 

[herashak]

If they don’t win by 3 I don’t even want it

Also we gotta trade these guys a dman, yikes

 

[Baxterman]

It will be interesting to see how they lose this one today.

Do they just not show up, do they piss away a lead against a bad team, is it a terrible goal late that sinks them?

I am not sure how it will happen I just know it will happen.

 

[The Gnome]

Just play like you did against the penguins and this should be a win.

 

[Tofveve]

Game 1 of a 15 game win streak.

Kind of hoping for this over the 3 game win streak prediction.

In all seriousness, this is the time to get this thing going. We need it and there's no way around it.

 

[SmellOfVictory]

I know it's just the 4th line, but every time I see a lineup without Shore's name in it, I get a little angry. Get Lazar out of there.

Lazar is better than Stajan, Brouwer, Jankowski and Hathaway.

I agree that we should get Shore in the line-up but fail to see why a 22 year old with speed (who is a better player than other guys on the team) is the one that should "get out of there."

 

[Tkachuk Norris]

To be fair they probably had their best game of the season against Pittsburgh

 

[Deen]

We need to be the best team since Scooby Doo and Shaggy from here on in.

 

[BigRangy]

Benoit Pouliot is the 5th highest scoring forward in the Buffalo lineup tonight with a whopping 16 points in 60+ games. Elite whipping boy Brouwer has more than that.

If the Flames are making the playoffs, they will be winning this game.

Hopefully the Flames play hard and get some confidence back tonight

 

[Jags68]

This game needs more Stewart and Glass

 

[Deen]

I hope Gulutzan is giving one hell of an Al Pacino - Any Given Sunday speech right about now.

 

[Ynnek]

Just blow these guys out and start a 10 game winning streak.

 

[Ace Rimmer]

Well this time Glen Gulutzan has said they need to come out ready and not be so patient. So they'll come out flying and be losing 1-0 after 1, or Buffalo will get the jump on them and they'll be down 3-1 after 1

(yes @Anglesmith I did listen twice to confirm)

 

[Jags68]

“What kind of vibe/temperature are you getting from this team?”

Motherf***er we the Flames, the temperature is hot as f***!

Hey, I'm not even mad. The fact that you were able to stir up a riot without anyone fact-checking you speaks to the esteem and gravitas you carry on this board.

 

[Bounces R Way]

Try not to suck. Looking at you Rittich

 

[Deen]

I still wish we would've drafted Getzlaf over Phaneuf in 03. I watched him play for the Calgary Hitmen and couldn't believe how late he went in that draft. Anyways.. Let's Go Flames!

Wish we didn’t draft..
Daniel Tkaczuk
Rico Fata
Eric Nystrom
Chris Chucko
Greg Nemisz
Leland Irving
Etc.

But how would we have gotten Matt Stajan?
