Great effort. Top line top notch. JJ on fire? I was entertained.

Buffalo is 1.2 MM

Buffalo's population also doesn't include any of Southern Ontario or Rochester, so a little deceiving relative to hockey fans. 

Calgary MSA is about 1.4M. And it's 75 miles from the nearest notable city...Red Deer.

2-3 road trip. Got 3 at home in 4 nights starting Wednesday against Ottawa. I will be there. In fact I grabbed seats just off the glass behind the opponent net.

Google says Calgary is now 1.6 as of 2024. When I lived there many years ago it was about 700k

Don't blame yourself.

Ugly game but a win is a win. 
 

If they don’t lose again they have a chance 😉

Solid game.  I've been switching between the hockey and the basketball.

[thewookie1]

I love the lighting in Calgary’s stadium; the ice on the other hand seemed to give both teams fits

That Clifton goal was a snipe.

Oh yeah. I was seeing a data point from 2016. 

[PerreaultForever]

Right side of an even game so no complaints. Can't say I thought it was a great game, but it's a win. 

[Second Line Center]

Skinner - 12 minutes TOI LOL

Ray with another drunk grunt on the Clifton goal

You know what's sad, Ray doesn't drink. He quit a long time ago. Still sounds loaded every night.

[North Buffalo]

Too many hits to the mush... 

[HOUSE]

I am still alive

[sabrefanday1]

Boy Calgary sure are a mess...and they can thank the wonderful Treliving for that...who of course was fired then imediately hired by the Leafs like he was some sort of GM -God...funny how GM's and coaches get recycled over and over.

  On another note, this was a goo dwin and they are still methemtically in the hunt though Washington is really pushing hard. Would have to beat the Caps both games we play them in April for any chance. I do worry that thus wil only give cause for GMKA to spew how th eteam showed promise and were "almost there" and it'll be another year of Meatballs and his merry clan of assistants (oh man that is a scary thought...) 

[Stoner]

These kids just won't quit!

Well, they actually did quit against Edmonton. I guess they decided ti play again this game. Who knows what they will be like when the get home.

I hope they learned something from the game winning goal. There was no play to be made so Tage dumped it in and got after it. I’m not arguing for us to go away from being a puck possession team to become a dump and chase team, but we would be so much better if our best offensive players developed better discretion on when it just makes sense to get the puck deep.

The heroic shuffle to the 80 point threshold continues.
