So after getting up at 2:30am to watch the game my internet connection inexplicably cut out in OT about a minute before the goal.

I was frantically trying to reset my router while reading the game thread on my iPhone and that's how I learned about the win. This on top of the rest of the game drama -- I've never been so angry and so happy at the same time. I might need therapy.

Go back and rewind about a minute or so before the OT winner and just watch the abuse Hudler was taking in front of the net from Stoner. No wonder Jiri's off his game, it's amazing he can even still walk. So many cheapshots, the one that drew the delayed penalty was just one example.

So happy with Backlund's game, he has been one of the few Flames emotionally engaged in all three games so far. We never knew he was such a mucker and I love his apparent hatred of Kesler.

We showed we can beat the Ducks. It is still a huge David vs Goliath battle though. I've never seen the Flames so dominated in faceoffs. Seems like every mistake we make leads to a golden scoring chance for the Ducks. Still have a hard time getting into the slot and when we do we're just getting cheapshotted. All four goals scored by Calgary tonight were very good goals, we don't get any fortuitous bounces around the net or dirty goals so each scoring chance has so much riding on it. Still, I believe. We had more good quality scoring chances than we have had in the first two games combined. Win again at home and we have a new series.
