In the last two weeks, I have been lucky enough to get to go to two Flames games. Last week was Flames versus Canucks (who are my second favorite team), and last night was Flames vs. the Wild.
The Canucks had to go and be jerkwads and beat my Flames in a shootout, but the game was so good it almost didn't matter. Bertuzzi had a chance to keep things alive, but after beating Luongo on this crazy (and weird) move, he....hits the goal post. It was exciting. Another cool thing about that game was Lombardi, my favorite Flame, scored, which honestly, he doesn't do that much. Kiprusoff had a bunch of great saves, and one of the most amazing ones I've ever seen (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=evAQiz0XpEY). He basically layed out and someone deflected the puck (clearly about to go it) out, right at the line (up in the air). Kristin was cheering for the Canucks, so I blame her for the loss. ;)
My sister and I went to see the Wild game last night. Pretty much nothing happened in the first. There are maybe 3 shots on goal a side. The start of the second was a different story. The Flames scored twice in the first minute. One was Camelleri (I'm spelling that wrong, but I don't feel like looking it up, and really I spell it like most people: Calamari) and the second was a big point shot from Phaneuf. I think he ended up getting 2nd star for it, which surprised me. Other than that I thought he mostly bed-shat. Anyway, being up 2-zip was pretty much game over for the Wild. The final score was 4-1 Flames, but really it was never close.
