There’s still a few minutes left in the Calgary-Vancouver game, but man it feels like the Flames are starting to hit their stride from the 2003 Stanley Cup run. Very physical game. Fast. Kobasew just hauled ass over half the length of the rink to prevent an icing call – a great race for the puck. They also killed a 5-on-3 powerplay! That was incredible.
And Kipper? Dayum! He’s on FIRE! Can’t believe some of his saves so far!
Vancouver’s holding their own, too. Auld is rocking in their net, and they’ve had lots of great chances that were stopped only because Kipper is working his magic.
Update: Yeah! They took it! First time they’ve won 3 in a row since 2003

Grrrr
It was one helluva game. Vancouver could have taken it easily – all it would have taken is for Kiprusoff to have slacked off a bit. Felt a lot like the quarter-finals from 2003!
Sure did feel like that last playoff matchup, especially Kiprusoff’s dominance. I thought the Canucks looked confused much of the night, which probably means that the Flames’ defensive play was excellent.
Yeah – I missed the second game of the back-to-back set, but from the stats it looked like an amazing game, too! Flames come back from a 2-1 deficit, and it’s tied with only a few minutes left… Must have been a great game.
