Oil @ Flames Pregame

Biggest game of the year, yes? The Flames are tied with Colorado, behind Minnesota by 3 and have 2 games in hand on both. And, last but certainly not least, Calgary can put the stake in the heart of the Oilers play-off drive once and for all. I mean, cheering for Edmonton the last few days has been fun, don't get me wrong (*ralph*), but there's nothing quite as enjoyable as delivering a fatal blow to Edmonton fans hopes and dreams.

Im not going to say too much about the Oil, since there's a litany of more insightful resources in the blogroll. As for the Flames, no one knows if Juice will be back in tonight or not. I assume Keenan will stick with what's worked recently, meaning expect the same line-up as last game (meaning more of Eriksson bobbling pucks at the offensive blueline. Serenity now!).

Prediction - Iggy puts the Oilers out of their misery while Phaneuf causes mass anger- related aneurysms in and around Northern Alberta with his antics.

Go Flames.
