The Flames definitely outplayed the Black Hawks but nothing to show for but 1 point. They deserved to win tonight -and Hwks got lucky with 2 seconds left in the game. Kipper played a lot better tonight and their overall defense was awesome. Offensively, they were freaking snakebitten. Cammy, Iggy hit the post a few times, while Glencross might have so frustrated with all those missing opportunities. Backlund been playing so well but still couldn't capitalize on his chances. All lines played well tonight including the 4th line. I have to agree with one poster that Brodie seems to be having some problem with his passes and even his puckhandling a lot tonight. Butler surprised me with his good plays and positioning tonight. I thought they probably have the best D pairings tonight considering their ice time was not even close to the top two pairings. That Bouwmeester's goal was the one we were waiting for a long time. Too bad the Flames couldn't hang on to the lead. Oh well, i hope the road games will do them wonders as they haven't been having any luck at the Dome this season.
