I see Montreal has just dropped two in a row.
My Thoughts and Prayers go out to all the Habs fans.
The godless habs have lost two in a row and oh how sweet it is! One of the few times I will be cheering for the Flames, go get em my southern brothers!
I pray that the habs will never see a win in Alberta again!
Here’s hoping for a win, tonight & tomorrow..! We could sure use a few..

Draisaitl with two goals and first star in first game!
I’m glad they drafted Draisaitl ahead of Bennett. I keep hearing from Flame fans how Draisaitl sucks and how much better Bennett would be and he would be in the running for the Calder trophy.
The big German looks good. Oh and there is no way anyone but Connor will win the Calder? Hell he could win The Art Ross and the Hart too!
BAHAHAHAHA at calgary… BAHAHAHAHA
I love that Kane wants to fight Wheeler and Ladd because we all know Wheeler doesn’t fight so it would have to be against Ladd and Ladd would kick the living $hit out of him. I know we would all love to see that.
I predict Mark Fane, Anton Lander and Purcell are all gone on or before the trade deadline. Fane’s idea of playing defence seems to be standing around screening the goalie, the only problem is he’s screening his own goalie. The training staff should sew a couple of pockets into his hockey pants so he has somewhere occupy his hands.
Lander appears to have totally lost it. He’s soon to be AHL bound. That lack of awareness on Galchenyuks (sp) goal is a case in point. Purcell, well he’s just a plain waste of a perfectly good skin.
I would much rather see enthusiastic, energetic and motivated younger players get their opportunity. Last nights game against the CdeH would suggest that may be the case.
How about McD stripping that arrogant big mouth Subban to set up the tying goal, ya’ gotta love it…
Lander will not be gone
