- Flames may be a smaller team, but this showed the entire league that they will go down swinging. As a fan who is well aware of how we get pushed around, this is exactly what I want to see.

This game reminded me of the Isles/Pens game a couple seasons ago, where the Isles just went absolutely mental and pushed back hard against a Pens team who were disrespecting them all season long. Ask any Isles fan and they will tell you that all the suspensions/fines they were issued was well worth it. They were tired of being walked all over/laughed at league wide. I'm in the same boat. Whatever fine Hartley might face, set up a trust fund and I'll happily help him pay it off. Hell, Burke himself will probably foot the bill.

This team may be a bottom team, but nonetheless they are a TEAM now more then ever. Flames fans should be proud.

out of thanks! so THANKS
