Flames have not won 2 games in a row since January 31st. Have not won 2 road games in a row since December 17th.
I had not realized it was that inconsistent.

Game On
Fight off the faceoff. Stevenson vs Pedan.
There's rights everywhere. Stevenson and Pedan with some heavy hits. Stevenson gets Pedan's helmet off but Pedan gets the takedown.

Flames all over the Utica net early on. Baertschi with some fancy stickwork to get in on net and create some chances.
And here comes Wolf with the puck chugging along bringing it back in.

Wolf with a great defensive play using his big body to defend a net after the Comets get a shot on goal and come crashing into the net.

Thiessen makes a great save with a bunch of traffic in front. Bounced off a couple guys, but Thiessen got it.

Acolaste with a blast from the point and it sits in the crease but no one can get to it to knock it in.
Hathaway going to the box after the scrum in the crease. Flames to the PK after a short 19 second 4 on 4.

Agostino and Tousignant playing aggressively shorthanded. Killing off time in the Comets zone.
Elson on a breakaway and the puck is pushed away from him by a Comets player all over him. No call.

Reinhart blocks a shot with his knee, looks to be okay.

I don't often comment on the boards but just wanted to say thanks for all the Addy updates Drury, always curious to see how they're doing.
