Gameday - Sharks

The Flames are at the Shark Tank tonight taking on San Jose.

This is a big game for the Flames, as a win puts our boys into the playoffs and a loss, combined with a win for the Avalanche, keeps us on the edge...

I know we have the 'easy' game coming up on Saturday night, but I'd really rather not give the greasers the chance to play spoiler...

I know that Vancouver beating Colorado tonight is a lot more likely than the Flames winning against one of the better Western Conference teams on the road, but I still would much rather have the win, as the boys still have an outside chance of moving up to 7th...

The Sharks are a solid team. The have a potent offence, a solid young defence, and probably the best goaltending tandem in the NHL right now. Of course, having the best tandem doesn't mean a whole lot when you are only playing one game...

I think the boys can win this one...

Flames over Sharks 3-2 in overtime. Goals by Iginla, Tanguay, Langkow, Guerin, and Marleau...
