The Calgary Flamez come into a sold-out Cominco Arena and steal the first game of the league finals 3-1.
Flamez took an early lead in the first on the PP, and held it until the middle of the second, when the Smokies tied it up at even strength. The game remained tied until the 8:00 mark in the third when the Flamez struck again. The envelope was sealed with a last minute marker by the Flamez.

Ján Farkaš stood on his head, getting a well deserved second star.
Game 2 goes tomorrow in The Backyard.
