    Playing against a third string goalie?

    Can’t wait to see how we screw that up

  2. CaptinDerpI

    And petition to add “Flames hit the post” to the drinking game

    Some of you may die, but that is a sacrifice I’m willing to make

  3. yeggiest

    Please god win against a basement team… for once please, I can’t handle it anymore.

  4. noor1717

    Ruzica out again. Guy needs to work on his consistency. He could easily be a top 6 forward if he did

  5. flyin_italian

    Yeesh.

    Those OT points are really defibrillating our chances to make the playoffs.

  6. natenicholson

    Hopefully, we can string together some wins!

  7. KaapVicious

    Last game we won 7-2 against Buffalo, so obviously we are going to lose 2-1 to Ottawa.

  8. Is it snowing in yalls part of the city? I’m curious because it’s snowing in the deepish south but I haven’t been called in to clear snow. Also I’m calling a Pelletier hatty tonight.

  9. POLANPOLANPOLAN

    Please don’t send out the 3rd goalie Ottawa

  10. Straight-Plate-5256

    C’mon boys, you put together a solid win in front of markstrom now keep the momentum going. I truly feel as frustrating as this season has been we’re insanely close to turning a corner… if we can put together another win here I can see us going on a bit of a streak, perfect chance to get retribution on Detroit and a massive test on Saturday now that the rags have the flames killer himself

  11. wreck-sauce

    This is there one trip a year to my city and I get to see the boys play so please for the love of God don’t get blown out!

  12. TacticalSledgehammer

    Going to the game tonight so I apologize in advance if it sucks

  13. TepidAtmosphere

    Flames have got this. Another two points tonight! lfg.

  14. randoposting

    No word on Duehr? Thought the kid was doing ok, but I’ve missed a couple of games.

  15. backchecklund

    Why must this team make me so nervous against “easier” opponents. Like I would rather see them play against top teams. Anyways, let’s hope last game was actually a turning point and not just a random good game, GO FLAMES GO🔥🔥

    ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ RAS TAKE MY ENERGY ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ

  17. UrsusAlakar

    Any word on Andersen ?

    Edit: Looks like he’s going to miss tonight too.

  18. marbsarebadredux

    This should be a very winnable game…so naturally we’ll lose.

  19. Comfortable-Ad-7158

    Can we please continue that passing from Saturday? Shit was pretty.

  20. CorrosionRF

    Team that is far out of a playoff spot. Check. A bunch of injuries. Check. Literally using the backup goalie of their backup goalie. Check. We are toast.

  21. xThunderstruck33x

    Kind of weird that some people are saying this should be an easy opponent.

    Senators have 24 wins and 27 losses.

    We have 25 wins and 28 losses.

    We are about equal.

  22. beardie88

    I drafted markstrom in fantasy this year and he’s been not great.

    I thought Vladar was playing vs Buffalo so I took Marky out of my lineup.

    Clearly markstrom only plays well when he’s not on my fantasy team, so I have traded him away.

    Get ready for the return of Markstrom

  23. MichealCeraV2

    I don’t know what it is about Calgary and playing third string goalies but shutout for Sogaard incoming!

    But in all seriousness, I really hope the boys can build off that solid win against Buffalo. With the standings so close, and against a rookie goalie, this is a must win game. GFG
