Calgary decided to replay their last win over Detroit last night by falling behind early and then dominating the rest of the game. the Flames finally got some bounces around the net, enabling them to score 3(!) whole goals over the course of the evening. Of course, if Shean Donovan didn't have a Buick sized monkey on his back, his late third period penalty-shot could have made it 4-2. Oh well. A win is a win. Some other interesting news is afoot, so let's get to the Positives and Negatives:
Positives:
- 2 points for Kobasew and a first star selection. Sounded like he lead the team last night.
- 2 point game for Langkow. I know, I can't believe it either.
- Tony Amonte with game-clinching break-away goal. Clutch.
- Come from behind victory against one of the best teams in the league. Always good news.
- Dominating 2nd period to the tune of outshooting Detroit 18-5. Shots were 36- 21 overall.
- Ference has 2nd good performance in a row. +2 and 3 shots on net. Weird.
- Calgary actual beats a 3rd string goaltender. Yay!
Negatives:
- 2 PP goals against in the first period. Calgary sure loves to give the Red Wings the early advantage.
- Jarome Iginla. Stretched scoring slump to seven games with a 1 shot performance. Not terribly impressive.
- Jordan Leopold. Not sure if he was hurt or just benched. Played all of 11 minutes in the game total. Still only 3 points on the season.
- Shean Donovan. About as offensively effective as Peca. Couldn't score on his own net right now.
- Chris Simon. Can't seem to get anything going.
Next up - Pittsburgh!
