- The Flames are officially 6-2-2 in their last 10 games.
- Despite the decent record, the Flames scored just 20 goals over that span and were cumulatively out-shot 334-239 (-95). Bright-side? Kipper is back and the Flames are winning despite not really playing that well. Dark-side?...uh...Flames aren't really playing that well.
- Moss back in the line-up. That probably means Nystrom will be a healthy scratch. According to recent practice lines, Moss will be playing on a line with Yelle and Lombardi. Conroy is back with Nolan and Tanguay. If only there was some way to convince Keenan to flip those two centers...
- One of Lombo or Huselius has to score tonight. This is getting ridiculous.
- The Blues looked promising at season's start but have really fallen off in the latter half of the year. Offense seems to be their achilles heel.
- Calgary's PP is an abomination. At home at least. Too static, too predictable, too flaccid. Bad ice and scorers suffering through long slumps sure haven't helped anything.
- I have a bye this week in Mirtle's Blogger pool. Im battling for a "consolation prize" now that we've moved into the play-off format. Both Stempniak and Tanguay are on my roster. I'll bet you anything both of them get on the scoresheet tonight.
Prediction - Flames win a 2-1 Snoozefest. Huselius and Tanguay for Calgary. Stempniak for the Blues.
Go Flames.
