The title is a not-so-clever play on words meaning this preview will be brief. Busy day today, so I couldn't put my usual half-assed effort in ('bout 1/5th assed effort today I'd say).
Stuff to know going into the game:
- The Wild have been very injured and very bad recently. However, they still have excellent special teams.
- The Flames have won a lot recently, but still need to prove they can get it done away from home. If the road PK and PP continue to falter tonight, they will most certainly lose.
- Iginla is looking for his 300th career goal and 600th career point tonight.
- A Calgary win will tie the Flames with the Wild in the NW Division standings and put them 2 back of the Oilers.
- Derek Boogaard is returning to the line-up for Minny tonight. Brandon Prust is rumored to be suiting up for an injured Marcus Nilson. There may be a David vs. Goliath rumble in the works...
For a much better, much more interesting preview, read Matt's take over at BoA. Notice, also, my Regehr post gets a mention. Im hittin' the big time baby!
Prediction:
3-2 Flames in OT. Iginla, Huselius and Amonte in the extra frame. Go Flames!
