Flames
Fail To Score In 2nd
Straight Home Game

Now
what?
A
bag skate after a 3-0
set back to the Detroit
Red Wings led to, well
... a 3-0 set back to
the Minnesota Wild.
Hard
to imagine what coach
Darryl Sutter has up his
sleeve after this one
after the Flames dropped
their second game of the
weak by identical
scores.

The
Wild played a very sound
round game on this
night.
They
notched a goal in each
of the three periods;
all three near the end
of each stanza ...
surely enough to choke
off this goal starved
hockey club.
Marc
Chouinard opened the
scoring when he
collected the puck in
the slot on a two on one
and fired it past
Calgary stopper Jamie
McLennan.
The
Wild doubled their lead
when Richard Park fired
a screened shot past
McLennan to make the
score 2-0 late in the
second period.
At
least in this one the
Flames showed some fight
out shouting the Wild by
a 18-5 margin in the
third period, but once
again failing to hit the
mark.
Toni
Lydman himself, had four
third period shots,
edging Denis Gauthier
with three, and Blair
Betts and Jarome Iginla
with two apiece.
The
Wild tossed some salt in
the Flames wounds when
they put the game out of
reach on a Pascal Dupuis
goal with under seven
minutes left on the
clock.
The
loss moved the Flames
one game under .500 on
the season, as well as
one game under .500 at
home - a sore point for
the Sutter led Flames
looking to forge a new identify
on home ice.
Next
up the Flames travel to
Columbus to take on the
Jackets on Sunday
afternoon.
The
game kicks off a four
game pivotal road trip
in which the team faces
four clubs that they
have to best this season
in order to make the
playoffs.
They
may want to score a goal
or two along the way -
might make things
easier.
