The Flames visit the canucks tonight in the nearly but not-quite-final exhibition tilt of the year. Vancouver will be looking to...well...actually win a game for a change while Calgary will try to tighten up things in their own end and maybe score more than 3 goals (a couple at even-stength would be a bonus).
Both clubs have whittled down their respective number of rookies, so the rosters will be significantly better than the ones we saw earlier in the preseason. On Calgary's side, it looks the Flames will be dressing their REAL top 2 lines (Lombo-Iggy-Tanguay / Langkow-kobasew-Huselius) for the first time. The DION and Robyn Regehr are suppossedly suiting up this evening as well. As for in goal, it's uncertain whether Kiprusoff will be playing tonight or tomorrow night against San Jose. Which ever it is, Im hoping the legitimate Kipper shows up (rather than the beach-ball dodging, unreasonably hand-drawn facsimile who has played in his stead up to this point).
