Calgary Flames Official Thread

Such a relief to see the Flames finally break through the smothering blanket of the Stars, also known as the masters of running interference. Sutter mentioned a few times earlier in the season that the Flames needed to be 'comfortable playing in tight games' and I think last night was a good example. They didn't get frustrated and kept to the plan. Eventually it paid off, and it was that much needed secondary scoring that did it.

Does anyone know if WestJet has the ability to show games on their 787s? I'll be on a plane for game six

Man was that a stressful game to watch last night! I'm not sure I can handle 3 more rounds of this! lol

The Flames just announced that the "Red Lot" outside the Saddledome will be open for Friday nights away game.

So frustrating with Dallas somehow getting in the way of every nice play play or pass, and the games are too close for comfort. I don't have any finger nails left!

Toronto failed to move on, and the Oilers managed to survive, 2 Game 7s tomorrow. Here's hoping the Flames can be the only Canadian team to finish in 6! I'm looking for Toffoli to light the lamp tonight, he's been all around it lately.

I have mixed feelings about the Oilers. On one hand it would be nice to see them knocked out of the 1st round again, on the other hand a battle of Alberta would ignite both cities. I think Edmonton would have a better chance of beating Calgary than LA would, given that it would be an all out battle with both teams trying their hardest, and anything can happen.

A BoA in the playoffs would be crazy intense! I'm not sure Red Deer would survive!

The Oilers won their series. We're now one win away from the first Battle of Alberta in the Playoffs in 31 years. Hopefully the Flames can finish their series against the Stars in a decisive manner on Sunday.

The hair metal will be blasting all over Edmonton tonight.

It would be ideal economically for the province of both teams took 7 games and then met in the battle of Alberta.

BATTLE OF ALBERTA HERE WE COME!!!​

I hauled my ass out of bed at 4:00 in the morning to watch the end of the game here in London. So happy. So so happy

That would have been devastating to have lost that one after the Flames fired 67 shots! Oettinger almost stole one for the Stars!
