HD’s Gameday gut feeling
It may be the last game of the Flames season, but beating the Canucks is always a good thing. The Flames will go out on a high note and send the Canucks into a first round series loss with a 5-1 thrashing. Iggy (x2),Langkow, Jokinen & Regehr
Flames closeout the season with 4 wins in a row.
