Preview: Flames Visit Flamers


Montreal Canadiens Record: 8-9-0 (4th in the Northeast)

Calgary Flames Record: 10-4-1

Canadiens Record vs. Flames Since 2005: (2nd in the Northwest)

Canadiens Likely Goalie: Jaroslav Halak

Flames Likely Goalie: Miikka Kiprusoff

Canadiens Top Scorer: Lil Mikey Cammalleri (7 goals, 14 points)

Flames Top Scorer: Rene Bourque (6 goals, 17 points)

Injury Report: Calgary has a full roster, althought I'll throw Olli Jokinen on here (sucking asshole). Thanks for not helping my fantasy team, dick.

The mighty midgets from Montreal will be without Matt D'Agostini (concussion), Ryan O'Byrne (knee), Hal Gill (lead feet), Andrei Markov (severed ankle tendons) and Georges Laraque (back). Not having Gill or Laraque should actually be a benefit to the Canadiens.

Preview Notes: Calgary won the first meeting of the season 4-3. This is the last meeting of the season between these two Canadian franchises.

Calgary's captain and resident bad ass Jarome Iginla is on fire lately (NO PUN INTENDED). He has 6 goals and 10 points in his last 7 games.

Miikka Kiprusoff gives the Flames a HUGE advantage over the tandem of Halak/Price. Although seriously... the D in front of the Habs goalies has been less than stellar and the Flames will most likely put up some serious points tonight.

Rumor is that the Canadiens will be wearing their throwback red and green uniforms from the 1910-1911 season. They can't be any worse than those prison uniforms, can they? Ever wonder if the Canadiens players try to refuse to put on these throw back jerseys?
