I don't think I could have scripted a better way for the Flames to enter the all-star break. Two consecutive wins on back-to-back nights, the second a shut-out pasting of the Stinktown Greasers.
First place in thew NW.
Winning despite lacking their best player.
Kipper tying a franchise record for career shut-outs.
A threesome with supermodels might be one of the rare events that equals the above for pure pleasure. If all that's not enough for you though, observe the frenzied Oiler fan tooth-gnashing here for further amusement.
Perhaps the best part of Saturday night's glorious victory was the fact that I fully expected the Flames to lose. The Battle of Alberta has been a homer's series till now this season, and Calgary is typically a terrible road team besides. Add in the injuries to Jarome and Charles and, well...let's just say I would have been happy with an OT loss. But, on the back of some decent team defense and a fantastic outing from Kiprusoff, the Flames managed to prevail. Of course, it helps that Juice is playing probably the best hockey of his life (did you see that feed to Tanguay for goal #3?!) and the Oilers have a terrible blueline...
All in all, a great night. Thanks for making my weekend and enjoy the all-star breaks boys! You deserve it.
