In 1815, French general Napoleon Bonaparte famously met his military demise with a crucial defeat in the Battle of Waterloo. The defeat marked the end of his ambitions to conquer Europe. The Calgary Flames (27-22-6, 60 points) have their season teetering on a similarly precarious cliff as they head off on a crucial four game western swing. It begins tonight against the Vancouver Canucks (30-20-5, 65 points), the Pacific Division’s top team.
The puck drops just after 8 p.m. MT on CBC and Sportsnet 960 The Fan.
