Game Preview: Avalanche Vs. Flames

Champagne is such a cruel trick. How can something so extraordinarily fun and delicious be so debilitating in the wake of its effect? If you're like me, you spent yesterday being lazy as hell, moving only to reconstitute yourself with regular doses of H20. I'm sure there's a lesson to learned here, but I'm going to forget it anyway.

Hopefully the Colorado Avalanche spent their time more responsibly, because the Calgary Flames are in town to play one of those little hockey match things we enjoy so much. Both teams enjoyed a successful December, with the Avs going 9-3-2 and the Flames going 9-4-0, yet still remain out of playoff contention in their respective divisions.
