Oops, fixed.
It’s Ellis, according to Tom Callahan

Crap
And too late to change my fantasy lineup, too.
Thanks Trotzy.

Definitely nice to get the early lead
Forgetting what that did for Edmonton, of course.

Guys are playing well so far
Now let’s see the power play kick in…

All those bodies at the net created the goal
Too bad it didn’t count as a PPG though

What a play by Erat there!
Can’t believe the way he gained the zone and created space for himself…

Grr...
Straightforward PP goal for Calgary there…

Gotta love the way Hornqvist gets under the skin of opposing D

Goalies almost never get called for that sort of thing

Looks like Trotz switched J.P. and Smithson for the last few shifts.
Maybe due to Smithson’s bad penalty that lead to the goal?
I can't believe we leave that period with the lead
despite special teams going from bad to worse
"Get to the Choppa!"
And we're off...
2nd period off to a decent start.

Ugh
Not a good one for Belak there, McGratten had him tied up pretty well. I wouldn’t be surprised to see a return match there…

Belak hasn’t gotten much action in recently. He’s probably a little rusty.

Sick shot by Iginla there
I thought that was a lazy tap ahead he made to start the play, but yikes, what a shot.

Refs definitely quick on the whistle today
We’ll take it, though.

Just hold on, guys
Lots of pressure from the Flames midway through the 2nd here. That’s where you look to see Arnott swoop through and gather the puck…

that puck would have gone wide if it wasn’t for Hamhuis sliding along the ice.

Shots 15-5 for Calgary this period
Gotta be thankful to be tied at this point

We'll come back
We’ve had out share of rough second periods, but our third periods are all about the heart. The best way to beat the Preds is to outwork them, not an easy task in the final period these days.
Egads...
can’t let Conroy get loose like that! Good save by Ellis, though.

I dig Franson
At this point I’d scratch someone else before him if they want to get Sulzer some time.

We're lucky a goal wasn't given up there.

Wow, dodged a bullet there
A little bit of luck never hurst.

Discipline
I like how the Preds aren’t getting rattled with the Flames physicality on the boards. They are washing our faces and we aren’t taking bad penalties.
Guys are working hard, too
Dumont hustled like mad and almost got that icing waived off.

Aye
I nearly thought he’d beaten it. We need some fresh legs, we’ve basically been on a PK for a couple of minutes.
Great time for a time-out by Trotz

Wow, this is scary.

Good grief. Honestly not sure we deserved this one, but who gives a dang. Ellis made the plays he needed to.
23 goals in 4 games?!?
Not sure what has happened to Erat this last few weeks, but man is he ever hot. Spaling and Franson are keepers, and Klein really needs to get himself together. More turnovers today.
