The Flames outworked the mighty Mighty Ducks of Anaheim from Anaheim last night for the first time in the series, resulting in a decisive 5-2 victory. Kipper was sharp when he had to be but it was the rest of the team which did him a favour by allowing next to nil scoring chances while holding the lead in the third period. Silly-ass Huselius led the way with three beautiful points and both Chris Simon and Mr Tumnus made some sweet-ass plays of their own which resulted in twine-twitchers. More importantly, neither Dion Phaneuf nor Roman Hamrlik had to be called out for less-than-stellar play. That being said, the defense was anchored by Robyn Regher and backed up by my man Rhett Warrener, both of whom kept the Selanne-McDonald juggernaut from doing much harm.
The boys looked focussed and intense and if they keep this up there's no way Anaheim's coming back to Calgary with the series tied at 2 games apiece.
In other news, what's with the Red Wings?
(And yes, I know this post had nothing to do with Marc Crawford but I didn't want to be left out.)
