Calgary Puck

With three games in four nights one had to wonder if this was a game that would get away from them.

It did.

The Flames were badly out played in the first half of the game, but somehow led after 20 before giving up two quick second period goals on the way to a 3-1 defeat in Vancouver on Tuesday night.

If you’re an optimist you see it as the loss breaking up a four game points streak. If you’re a pessimist the Flames how now lost four of their last six.

Next up the Predators are in town on Friday night.

Another workmanlike hockey game from the Calgary Flames.

A shut down first.

Some opportunistic finish in the second.

Three games in the East.

All to overtime.

All with at least a point.

Not a bad trip for a team with very low expectations this season.

The Flames had their usual slow start, spotting the Sabres a two goal lead early before chipping away, forcing overtime, and then eventually losing in a shoot out by a 3-2 score.

Dan Vladar was good in net, Matt Coronato scored another goal on the trip, and the Flames come home with four points in three games.

The just keep hanging in.

These Flames just don’t give up right?

In Boston, down two goals heading into the third period … that should be over.

Instead the Flames score two third period goals, and actually carry overtime for the most part before dropping the contest 4-3 in overtime Boston.

The Flames move to 6-4-2 on the season and 1-0-1 on this three game road trip.

Bottom five team? Don’t tell the Flames that, they have their own plans.
