Great way for the Flames to enter the break - rolling with Edmonton stumbling. What's even sweeter was the Dion making the muck-e-mucks in charge of the Canadian Olympic team look stupid Friday night for not selecting him for Turin...
So the Flames secured the NW division lead at the break (which was their goal) with the win over the Blues. Just below them the dog-fight continues, with Vancouver 2 points back, Colorado 3 and Edmonton 5. The sprint to the finish this year will most likely prove to be the most interesting in a long time. Especially considering all of the post-Olympics deals that will probably be occuring. Look for the Flames to acquire that ever elusive #1 center, Vancouver to net some #5/#6 type defensemen and Edmonton to deal for a decent goaltender...
until then, I suppose I'll post occassionally about the Olympics. I'll be cheering on Team Canada, so expect the commentary to be pretty thin initially - in "group a", Canada's only real competition will be the Czechs...we'll probably have to wait for the medal round to start for any real games of note to be played...
bah well. Hopefully we win the gold (even without the Dion on the team)...
