Calgary Vs Wild Preview

I'm slacking big time today boys and girls. I guess I'm too busy basking in the warm, golden afterglow of yesterday. The Smyth trade, the Oilers losing to the woeful Coyotes, the Canucks bowing to the Guerin-less Blues and Raycroft getting pulled for the second straight night. I've broken out in girlish giggles more than once today just thinking about it all.

Speaking of giggles, have you heard this one yet:

"Sure, it's cold and crappy in Calgary these days, but it could be worse: Edmonton is -94".

(Thanks for that one MadMac).

Tonight we all know what's at stake: win, and tie the Canucks atop the NW Division. Lose, and fall behind both Minnesota and Vancouver and remain in 8th in the WC. I would really rather that 2nd thing didn't happen so let's go ahead and win this one boys mmmmkay?

Kipper in net, almost everyone healthy, Hale in uniform (maybe) and the Wild haven't won in Calgary in a long time. Let's go with a 4-2 victory. Langkow, Tanguay, Phaneuf and Amonte for the Flames. Gaborik and Walz for the Wild

GO FLAMES!
