The first half featured a parade of Calgary Flames to the penalty box and a 3-0 Oiler lead; the second half a Flame rally of three goals that resulted in a 3-3 tie.

Camp Implications:

As is the case in training camp, the game out come is rarely as important as the minute details contained within.

Who strengthened their case to make the final roster come October? Who took a step back?

DEFENCE

Darryl Sutter did his best to make the race for that final blueline position a fair one, dolling out equal opportunity in the form of ice time.

Mike Commodore received 31 shifts for 21:53 of ice time. He finished +1 with two shots on goal and four penalty minutes, and was a force with some really good body work.

Jesse Wallin hit the ice 30 times for 21:22 of ice. He finished even with two shots on goal and two penalty minutes. Wallin made the biggest blunder of the night when he fed Ryan Smyth for a great chance on Krahn.

Steve Montador, the third in the three way battle had 27 shifts for 19:37 of ice. He was even, had two shots on goal and a wrestling match with Brad Isbister.

As a result, things really are no closer to solved now than they were 24 hours ago. Maybe a slight edge to Commodore.

Dion Phaneuf likely out shown all three players, a fact that may be enticing for the future, but will matter little in the big picture this season.

Phaneuf was solid all night and picked up an assist on the Flames first goal. He logged similar minutes to the other three defencemen playing for a spot.

If that's Phaneuf's only game before returning to Red Deer he made a very large impression. See you after the lockout Dion!

FORWARDS

There is more than one way to get into a coaches good books when trying to make a team out of training camp.

The obvious way is to hit the scoresheet, something that Oleg Saprykin and Chuck Kobasew managed when Kobasew banged home a Saprykin pass to tie the game in the third period.

The goal was a very good sign for Kobasew, with the winger finding his usual hole in the opposition defences and getting open in that right place at that right time - something he did in each of the past two training camps.

Another player looking to make the club that made some noise in a different fashion was Josh Green. Green dropped the gloves and pounded out a decision on the Oiler's Doug Lynch in the second period - a fight that shifted the emotion back to the homeside.

The trio of Krzyzstof Oliwa, Matt Davidson and Jason Morgan saw very little ice.

GOALTENDERS

A quick glance at the boxscore will show that Dany Sabourin surrendered all three goals, while Brent Krahn came in to shut the door and trigger a Flame comeback.

While that may in fact be the bottom line, it truly doesn't tell the whole story.

Sabourin was under siege and with the exception of the first goal, a Jani Rita marker, couldn't be faulted for the pucks that went behind him. He faced 19 of the Oiler's 25 shots in his half of the game.

Brent Krahn was perfect, but only faced six shots. Still he has yet to hurt his bid in three appearances through training camp.

Jamie McLennan didn't suite up on this night.
