This one should be the Wings in the bag, an easy two points but I guess that's why they play the game. Cammalleri and Iginla have both been snakebitten and are both looking for their first goals of the season. Why do I know they'll both score tonight? Either way, here's to the Wings-- the St. Louis win was nice and all, but it's about time we start winning against the lesser teams of the league more consistently.

2 of their losses were SO, by 1 goal with Anaheim. I've watched 2 Calgary games and they are no joke, very solid team. They are not tanking. They've had 3 days off, I think you'll be surprised what the "worst" team in the league is all about.
He is back.
In all honesty I am glad he is off to a good start. He does seem like the kind of player that is going to score in this game. I wish him the best when he is not playing us, I think we should still win it. The bigger problem is Iginla has always killed us. With that said the Wings have had great success against Kipper lately as well in my recent memory.
Lets go 4-2 on the prediction, we will get a goal from one of our bottom six lines tonight. I will also enjoy the fact both Brunner and Tatar are significantly faster than Hudler at everypoint tonight.
Iginla doesn't appear to be the threat he once was.

Z40- fantastic GDT. And you are now officially removed from eva unit's christmas card list- just thought you should know. 
On paper, the Wings should get the 2 points, but they seem to play down to the level of the competition so it's still a crapshoot. Hoping for Tatar to have a good game, would be great for the bottom 6 to contribute ANYTHING on the scoreboard, and I'd bet the house that Iginla both scores and cross-checks Z in the back at least once. That's how Iggy rolls against the Wings.

Flames Fan here. Good luck to you guys tonight.
Flames are not as bad as their record indicates. Expect a pretty good game tonight! The lines for Calgary have been juggled a bit, so we will see how they go, but Calgary is definitely a 3-line attacking team.
Last year's style of play is a distant memory - I fell asleep watching some Flames' games last year, but this year they are much more exciting.
Win or lose, I am just happy to enjoy an exciting game. Good luck to you guys!

He does when I have watched their games, he has always been a slow starter anyway. But he is threatening, the Flames have a much more open attacking team this year. They are dangerous, Iginla always seems to get his against Detroit, Howard seems to struggle with his shot. The key is limiting his opportunities and shutting down Glencross. He has been very good on the power play. With as bad as our PK is we need to stay out of the box. They do a great job of creating PP's on their own but stupid Bert or Cleary penalties could be a big deal in this game. Also would like to go one game without Kronwall picking up the same interference call, they are calling that this year he needs to adjust on that chip play.

I don't think he'll risk getting 5 and a game considering he's our #1 guy. His hits are legal but if Backes got 5 and a game for his hit and cost his team the game I don't see Kronner risking it too much this season.

Thanks. Hopefully, I'll be nominated for the GDT Calder Trophy.
I will miss those Christmas cards of eva unit's dog wearing a Hudler jersey. The price I pay for giving you all a glorious GDT...
Eaves is a healthy scratch to make room for Tatar. Kindl is also a healthy scratch to make room for White's return. Babs clearly likes Lashoff more than Kindl.

Never fear -- during the summer Holland will swing a trade for Hudler and Giordano, sending Howard, Franzen, and Quincey back the other way.
