I don't think the Flames are for real. I know they have a great record, and I do think they are a deep team, but this isn't that different of a team than the one from last year. They've had some great luck with injuries, and built steady chemistry from that. I suppose the real test is in the playoffs, but if the Oilers play their A game tomorrow, it should be an Oilers win.

Bring this new 5 on 5 game and show the Flames what this team can do.

Our PP is coming around too. The PK has some positive signs too. It looks like RNH couldn't have come back at a better time

Plus they eased in Kulak last night (and didn't even use the secret weapon Brassard), once he(they) see more time I expect more quality PKing.

We must crush them. McDavid with a five pointer to hit 100 points.

 

[KarmaPolice]

I think we would technically be in 2nd place ahead of LA with the victory. Let's get in there, pants the Flames like they deserve, and take those 2 points.

We’re going to destroy them.

I’ll be at that game live, looking forward to it. Should be a fun atmosphere, it’s an important game for us like all of them down the stretch.

Oh man, that'll be fun if the Oilers crush them, and you can live it up in their barn. Here's hoping.

There’s a lot of Oiler fans in Calgary, it’ll be a loud crowd and lots of fun.

Calgary is a good hockey city, it’s not just a Flames town. There’s a massive contingent of Oiler fans, lots of Leafs and Canucks fans too.

Yeah, that's true. For that reason, I kinda hope they do get a newer arena. I haven't been in the Saddledome, but it's growing long in the tooth, and it's just better for all those hockey fan contingents you mentioned if there was a more modern and comfortable venue (but mostly for visiting Oiler fans).

Maybe that explains why their management always has such a hard on for former Oilers n former Canucks

WIth the Flames, I can see them going pretty far but I can also just see them getting knocked out in the first round. Like if they draw Minnesota or something in the first round, good luck.

I think they have a "playoff" type of roster. Lots of big guys on the back end that can clutch and grab. Pretty good depth, pretty good defensively. Sutters a good coach.

They dont have a ton of gamebreakers though. They dont have the best center depth. I could see their offense drying up, due to lack of game breakers (Gaudreau for example tends to disappear in the playoffs). How far can Lindholm and Tkachuk carry the offense in the post season?

Biggest difference to me, is that Markstrom is playing like the goalie that they signed to that big contract. Last year, he was trash. They also have Tyler Tofolli for additional scoring and he should not be underestimated. The guy is a big time pressure scorer. And added significant depth and grit this year with Blake Coleman and Ryan Carpenter, and upgraded their bottom d pairing with Gudbranson and Zadorov. I hate them immensely, as we all do, but they did make some very good adds in addition to Markstrom finding his game.

Walk tall and carry a big stick. And may the force be with you.

That's playing right into their hands. Calgary is a different team when not in transition.

Not sure if the beers will help or hurt but I'll be downing them regardless
