Anyway, you can get lucky once but not twice... the Bruins have had some injuries for the first time in 3 years and they're struggling to play for .500.

It depends...if our first line is on fire tonight we might see an entertaining game with a lot of goals.

Because I fully expect Eberle, RNH, Hall and Gagner to light up Budaj.

I think it will be a good game. Two teams with nothing to lose...

Yeah, and no way Montreal would finish last place in the conference with Pacioretty having a career season!

Comparing this year's team to last year's is wrong. We got rid of a few useful veterans in Halpern, Hamrlik, Wisniewski only to replace them with inexperienced rookies or garbage players. Not to mention BS coaching as well.
And of course Pacioretty is going to have a career year because he hasn't played a full one yet.

Speaking of Wolverine... goal #30 in only 65 games. First 30+ goals scorer since Alex Kovalev in 2007-2008.

26 of those 30 are ES goals as well. Last Hab to have that much was Vincent Damphousse in 1993-1994.

Not bad... especially considering only Stamkos and Malkin have more ES goals than him.

No way the Bruins take 7 games to beat the habs with Savard and Bergeron in the lineup.

You can thank Theo Peckham for the loss last night... 3 bad penalties resulting in 2 goals. His days with Edmonton better be over.

Tonight atmosphere at the Dome should be exciting. The Jets are in town for the first time since 1996, and with half the people in Calgary originally from the Peg I would bet that the dome will have the feeling of when the Leafs or Habs come to town.

^ should be a good game, with lots of Jets fans. Two teams fighting for playoff spots...

The game in Vancouver had "go jets go" chants you could easily hear on TV, and tons of Jets sweaters throughout the arena.

Jets fans have been vying for tickets to this game since the start of the season. I bet there will be a huge number of them tonight....probably more then the typical Leaf crowd.

It's too bad the Flames badly need the points or I'd root for the Jets too. You have to feel for the fans that have waited all those years for their return. The Jets fans here in Calgary (and there are lots of them) will only get to see them once, and it's the first time since the 90's, so a win would cap things off.....but like I said unfortunately the Flames really need the points so I gotta root for the Flames.

Flames fans should be pretty excited too, it appears Bartschi will be the future of this team, and he is making his debut tonight. Lets hope he doesn't turn out to be nothing like a lot of our former first round picks (Lombardi for example).

Looking forward to seeing the Flames play the Jets too, been a long time coming, should make for an exciting atmosphere.

Bartschi looks promising. Might be the most promising first rounder in 15 years.

Bergeron? He played all 7 games!

I didn't include Savard just like I didn't include Markov. Markov has played 7 games in 2 years while Savard is retiring.
