The Flames and Oilers are on diametric ends of the spectrum early in the season, and as such, it's the first time in years that I'm actually scared the Flames might lose.
Brent Sutter has basically been doing everything wrong to start the year, so it's going to be interesting where Brendan Morrison ends up tonight-will Brent remain stubborn and stupid and keep sending David Moss, Jarome Iginla and Alex Tanguay out against other teams' top competition or will he lean upon the vaunted (using that loosely) OMG line? Also in the catigory of "Brent, you absolute bloody moron": PL3 plays tonight while Roman Horak sits. Time for Horak to go back to the AHL (but knowing the Flames, they'll let him rot in the press box for at least another 10 games).
