Okay, so the Flames made me look stupid for bemoaning their lack of secondary offense yesterday. The funny thing is, they still kinda proved my point anyways: of the 9 goals scored, Iginla, Huselius and Langkow accounted for 7 of them. Nolan was the only forward not on the first line to get a point yesterday - and that was thanks to an empty net.
But, enough of that. I'll enjoy the rare and improbable victory while I can.
Quick turn-around as Calgary is in Carolina tonight. The Hurricanes came out like gangbusters to start the season but have fallen back recently. Like the Bolts, Carolina struggles with defensive issues now and then, but have an impressive array of offensive weapons that can blow away the bad guys on any given night.
That said, let's hope this doesn't turn into another shoot-out. Stillman, Rod the Bod, Williams, Staal, Cole...the Canes can do some damage and it's unlikely that Iginla and Huselius will be shooting lights out two nights in a row. Here's hoping for a return to low-scoring sanity, with Kipper out-dueling Ward.
3-1 Flames. Tanguay, Langkow and Lombardi for Calgary. Willams for Carolina.
