Tonight we get to see if the apparent gains made by the Flames the last two games are real or artifacts of playing the less-than-impressive Colorado Avalanche.
The Red Wings aren't the invulnerable machine they were last season, however: Chris Osgood is worst than ordinary so far, although the team in front of him has been able to out-score his terribleness most nights so far.
Im nervous about the Auoin/Regehr pairing tonight. It's worked alright, but if anyone is going to expose shinpad in his own end, it's the likes of Datsyuk/Hossa. I guess we'll see how it goes.
Prediction - None tonight.
Go Flames
