Ultra brief game post today.
The Devils are, ironically, the last team the Flames will face before the birth-of-Jesus holiday break. New Jersey has been the best team in the Atlantic Division over the last little while but are ending a long, tiring road trip here in Calgary.
I thought the Flames deserved better against Dallas and was pleased with their overall effort. The Iginla line dominated a majority of the contest (again), but were stymied by great goaltending, bad bounces and some terrible Saddledome ice. Long story short, if the Flames can replicate that performance I'm confident they'll come out on the winning end tonight.
Extra bit - Boyd looked right at home skating with Tanguay and Conroy versus the Stars. he assisted on Tanguay's goal and was 2 inches away from putting the Flames ahead on a rebound shot in the third. Chances are he'll end up there again this evening, assuming Nolan is still hurt.
Anyways, Happy Holidays and Go Flames.
