This Weeks Don't Look Now Team : The Calgary Flames

By -

The Calgary Flames have shot themselves up the standings and are currently on a 7 game winning streak!

 Again, like last weeks don't look now team, the Flames are squeaking out wins against some of the leagues best teams including the Blackhawks, Kings, Ducks, Lightning, Wild, Panthers, and Hurricanes. 

 This Flames team was built for the road.  They hardly lose when away from the Saddle Dome.  It's a shame the experts would rather talk about Jagr and the mess that has become.  They should be talking about how Johnny Hockey, All Star Snub Sean Monahan, and Matthew Tkachuck are tearing up Alberta hockey and SportsCentre highlight reels.  

 Since every rock solid team in the league is hitting their bye week we won't see the Flames play again until Saturday against the rock solid Winnipeg Jets.  That'll be a great Hockey Day in Canada matchup.

We are fucked

As my friend AngryHabsFan eluded to already, yesterday was the end of the world as we know it for Sens fans. Matt Cooke's skate caught Karlsson in the Achilles tendon last night on a scuffle in the corner. First off don't even think that this was Matt Cooke being a dirty player and that he did this on purpose. It was just one of those freak plays that happen. No timeline has been given yet for Karlsson's return but I think its safe to say that he won't be back this season. Hopefully he can return from this injury and still be a great player. We already have Michalek playing on robotic knees so hopefully EK can get a hold of Milo's doctor. Speaking of Michalek he also disappeared before the game last night with a mysterious undisclosed injury. No word on what exactly is the extent of his injury yet. So without Spezza, Michalek, Karlsson and Jared Cowen I think its safe to say we are fucked and need to focus on shipping out Gonchar at the deadline and going

LOSER Tonight and this afternoon will be an outright cluster&@$^.  I can't even begin to try to calculate who we are going to end up playing in the first round.  If we lose tonight it will be the Leafs, simple as that.  If we win and Boston loses their game to Washington then things will get interesting tomorrow night in the finale game of Ottawa vs Boston.  So basically win for drama and lose to play the Leafs.   My heart says lose and sweep the Leafs out in the first round for what would be revenge for every Saturday night game of my childhood living in Ontario.  My sensible self says win and end up playing an easier team seeded way lower than us.  It is going to be an interesting 40 hours ahead.  Oh, and if we draw the Sens in the first round I'd be all over some tickets, so kinda hoping for that too. Gametime is 7PM on CBC. Go Habs Go!
