A Red Letter Day

I hope some of you recorded the game last night. Here's a list of improbable achievements that occurred:

- Jarome Iginla's franchise leading 365th goal.

- Eric Godard's first assist of the season on a scoring play involving Marcus Nilson and Dustin Boyd (the tri-fecta of unlikely).

- Kritain Huselius busts a 20+ game scoring slump.

- Matthew Lombardi busts a 20+ game scoring slump.

- Kipper snaps and tosses a puck into Martin Rucinsky's pouty gob.

- Flames win the special teams battle (1 PPG, 2 SHG).

- Alex Tanguay ties for the team lead in shots (6).

- Matthew Lombardi leads all forwards in ice-time.

- Flames score 7 goals on home ice.

- Flames beat up a lesser opponent at a crucial time of the year.

Yup. Good way to head out onto the road.
