If the Flames had lost last night, that was the type of game that a streak like that would have been acceptable to end on. Flames still persevered and pulled out the win. Just a fantastic game to stretch it to 10!
One thing that nobody I think brought up is Versteeg and Edmonton. Maybe Edmonton should have promised Versteeg a larger role on the team out of training camp? Haha Oilers lose in a shootout against the Pens, and the Flames win with Versteeg's shootout goal. Suck it grease faces!
There isn't a single Flame that has been playing bad. Even the whipping boys like Chiasson, Brouwer and Wideman are all contributing and really making an impact. This is how winning teams roll - from top to bottom, their players help drive those wins. That is what makes Pittsburgh so damn good right now, even in spite of the injuries. You have to really love what you are seeing as a fan of the Flames.
The only thing that was disappointing about last night was LA losing. I don't worry at all about the cushion for the Flames. I was hoping for a 3 point game and for the greasers to inch closer to being out.
