Gameday - Avalanche

The Flames return from an extremely succesful roadtrip (4-0) to host the Avalanche tonight in a game where they can clinch the final playoff spot in the Western Conference...

Prior to the road trip, the boys beat Detroit and Nashville in back-to-back games, so Flames fans are on a bit of a high right now, as well we should be...

In fact, I'm thinking we can still move up a playoff seed or two in this final week. Even though the Wild have an extremely easy remaining schedule, I have a feeling we can take them if the Oilers get lucky for a game or two. Although they are probably a little preoccupied with getting a better draft pick right now...

The Avs haven't been quite as hot lately, which I'm thinking is due to the fact that they don't really have a solid goaltender or defenesive corps. They can score all they want, but somebody has to be keeping the puck out at the other end...

Kipper has really stepped up his game recently, and I'm thinking he's getting ready to roll his way through the playoffs again...

I'm going to be heading down to Shoeless Joe's for the game (after my own game), and I hope to be there by the beginning of the second period. Or to at least catch the last half with WI and possibly Duncan...

Flames win convincingly 5-1, on goals by Iginla (2), Langkow, Huselius, and Friesen, with Wolski answering back for the golf course bound team from Colorado...

Do they have good golf in Denver?
