Oh yeah, there's a game tonight.
Calgary did SFA today, but the Avs were one of the busier teams. Besides coaxing Foppa back into the fold yesterday, Colorado added another ex-pat in Adam Foote and dealt Karlis Skrastins for Ruslan Salei. I don't think any of the new additions will be in the line-up tonight against the Flames, so the only player that Calgary will have to really worry about is Joe Sakic. Burnaby Joe is to the Flames what Jarome is to the Wild: pure antagonistic, nemsisitic (it's a perfectly cromulent word) evil. Sure, he's been out for half the year with groin problems, but Im willing to bet he plays like a fresh-faced, 25 year-old again this evening.
Flames stuff: Eriksson/Warrener out, Vandermeer has looked decent so far, Nilson probably subbing in for Tanguay ("stinger"). I half expect Huselius to bust his slump as well now that he doesn't have to worry about packing his bags anymore.
Prediction - Calgary 3, Colorado 2. Huselius, Iginla and Phaneuf for Calgary, Sakic and Gusarov for the Avs.
Go Flames.
