The Winnipeg Jets take on the Calgary Flames tonight in a blizzard of a battle for one of the last two Wild Card spots in the Western Conference. The Jets have won their last two games, a 6-2 victory over the Detroit Red Wings and a 6-1 win over the New Jersey Devils and now have a record of 43-31-3 and are 5-5 in their last ten games. The Flames are coming off of a 4-3 loss against the Chicago Blackhawks last night and are now 36-27-15 on the season and 6-3-1 in their last ten games. They are currently only two points behind us in the race for a playoff spot, so this game is ever so important for both teams. Has Winnipeg found it's scoring touch or will they fall back to shooting muffins? Will the blizzard even allow Calgary to reach Winterpeg, and if they do, how late will it be? Will @Fatdrunk be “Feelin' It” tonight and will @Duke749 be laughing at us after we get all this snow in April? These questions and many others will be answered soon enough...
