The Flames came out flat in the first period, and paid for it by giving up two first period markers. QC especially had trouble getting out of their zone. My thoughts on the first period are somewhat jumbled, due to the fact that I was sitting next to the entire University of Wisconsin band, and they played constantly. Irving had a pretty shaky game, as did Chucko. The Flames flat out dominated the last 35 minutes of the game, though. They only gave up three shots in the third period. Vigilante played a great game, he was all over the ice. Recent ECHL call-up Justin Bowers played a solid game on a line with Aki. The Flames should have won this game, but they couldn't finish.
