Calgary News Watch

The Red Wings take a 2-0 series lead after a 3-1 win today in Detroit. The Calgary Flames had five penalties in the first 10 minutes and allowed Detroit to score 2 goals in the first 4 minutes of the game.

I didn’t see a big difference between the first and second games in Detroit. In both games the Flames played very bad without putting their hearts in the game. It seems like they don’t even want to win.

The only hope that we have left is that the Calgary Flames will play at the Saddledome for the next two games where the Flames play their best hockey and have won 30 games in the regular NHL season.

Ruin, crash, destroy, smash… I don’t even know which is the better word that describes this game. 4:1 in an opener playoff game? Unbelievable. It seems like the Flames were playing a meaningless regular season game.

Wake up Flames, it’s the playoff round!!! I really hope the Calgary Flames will play a better game on Sunday.

The Red Wings out shot the Flames 46-20. Miikka Kiprusoff stopped 42 shots on goal and Dominik Hasek stopped 19. The Flames had 34 penaltie minutes and the Red Wings 28.

The Calgary Flames stopped playing in full strength approximately in the middle of the second period yesterday night after the announcement that there was a Nashville 4-2 victory over Colorado. Therefore the Flames lost to the Oilers 3:2.

You probably noticed this as well, if you watched this game. Winning 2:0 until minute 14 in the second period and then letting the Edmonton Oilers score 3 goals in a row. I don’t believe this would happen if the playoff spot were still on the line.
