Flames look to avoid letdown vs. West-worst Blackhawks

The way the Calgary Flames see it, they've turned a corner and are looking like the team they were supposed to be.

Calgary's home clash with the cellar-dwelling Chicago Blackhawks on Thursday is an opportunity to prove it.

The Flames, who have won two straight games, have often been guilty of looking past underdog clubs, and a Blackhawks team at the bottom of the Western Conference is the kind of team they could be caught looking past.
