Florida…the land of sunshine and warmth and happiness all year long. Calgary…the land of..uh, well..current conditions; 15-20 cm of snow and -20 degrees Celsius. The night couldn’t be much colder, but neither team was cold coming in. The Panthers came to Calgary to find an icy hell awaiting them and a home team coming right off a very successful road trip which saw them garner 5 out of a possible 8 points. The Panthers have won 4 straight on the road coming in, and weren’t likely to be an easy opponent this time around.

Westside Story from my perspective was a cheesy musical about hoods and gals with switchblades.
To the Calgary Flames it will forever be the turning point of a hockey season when California dreaming turned into suburban sweat, with the style of playing being reset and a new team emerging from the Westside arena.

After back to back wins in St. Louis and New York City, the Flames walked into the Bell Centre in Montreal hoping to continue their winning ways. Since being handed an absolute beat down by the Sharks a few weeks ago, the Flames have been lights out one of the best teams in the league, minus an inspired Dallas Stars team that took the trap to them. This road trip features some big time opponents in the Rangers, Canadiens and Red Wings, so now we’re in the meat of the tour. But all good things must come to and end they say, and tonight it did in less than stellar fashion. Despite being the better team at the beginning, the Flames let their game get away from them and fell hard at the feet of the Montreal Canadiens. - Full Article -

All season long we’ve been wondering who the real Calgary Flames are. They’ve disappointed with a tough start, rattled off six straight wins, got blown out in Chicago and San Jose, and then turned it around of late just when you were ready to write them off.
Tonight the Flames were present with an excellent statement chance in New York, and didn’t let anyone down playing a solid road game in turning back the home town Rangers by a score of 3-0.
