How Sweet Was That!

The Flames started off their 6 game road trip, 2-0 after defeating the Florida Panthers 2-1 in a SO last night. From what I heard from reaction off the radio, the Flames played a good game and squeaked it out at the end. Literally at the end. Iggy continued his awesome, awesome season scoring with only 11 seconds left with Kipper pulled. The Flames needed a break like that after they played a pretty good game and after the horrible give away by Langkow on Florida's only goal.

The OT seemed to be actioned packed, the best hockey of the whole game. End to end and a break away for each team. Tanguay got fed away from a pass from Conroy but couldn't beat Vokoun. OT solved nothing so they had to headed to the SO. Huselius scored on the first shot and it was the only goal of the whole SO.

All in all it was a goaltender battle between Kipper and Vokoun. Kipper has now played 4 great games in a row and really seems to be back on track. The Flames head back into Tampa on Thursday for the first time since '04. I really think the Flames are starting to turn it around and I can't wait to watch the game, it should be a good one and hopefully they get some revenge on those bastards who stole the Cup from us.
