Looks like Old, Ballzov

As it was on Pay-Per-View, I didn't catch the only match-up of the season between the Senators and Flames (before the Stanley Cup final, that is), but I hear it was tight, playoff-style hockey. Good for the Flames, bad for the Sens. A Kipper shut-out, an Iggy game-winner and a few big hits by the General were all that was needed for the Cowtown Horse Heads to pull out a big road win against a sleeping giant.

Not all is doom and gloom for the Ottawa faithful, however. Apparently, the team put out an outstanding effort and were only thwarted by the stellar play of Kiprusoff and the Flames defense. Finish was all that was needed and finish will eventually result with the likes of Alfredsson, Spezza and Heatly on the front line. They'll be fine.

Next up for the Calgary Flaming C's is a stop for a Saturday night prime time game with the loopy Leafs. The boys in blue have surprised many observers with their scoring prowress and cocky air. Will they rebound from last night's lost victory in Jersey? Or will they hit the Kipper wall with a resounding thud in front of Bob, Harry and the Don? No matter the result, only one thing's for certain: after the game, Leaf fans will continue to be the laughing stock of the league.
