Just excuses. Plenty of small teams give the Blues trouble - Montreal, Detroit, Chicago.

The reason the Blues own us is because Hitchcock owns Hartley.

2 for 50 on the power play. That's pretty awesome.

In the last 100 minutes of PP action, the Flames have a 2-1 lead.

How have they won 7 in a row....

A post doesn't count as anything other than an amusing sound.

The last PP we had about 4 shots on goal, all weak wrist shots from the point with no one standing in front. Elliot could have had a nap this game.

Meanwhile Backes is running everybody's business, and Gio and Brodie are -3 each.

If the Flames can score in the first five minutes of the third, it will be a whole new ballgame.

Elliott has been more lucky than good so far! He can be had.

It's actually pretty astonishing how the Flames have won 7 straight while having the worst PP of all time. Gotta give them some major props.

Has a team ever finished dead last in PP and PK in the same season? The Flames have a commanding lead on their nearest competitors in both categories, nobody in the league is really nearly as bad as the Flames on special teams. It is miraculous that they have won 7 in a row with those horrific numbers.

Yes, but usually those teams are dead last or close to it.

I see our "Norris-worthy" top pairing are -3 tonight. What gives? Hopefully they spearhead the comeback.

Just turned on the tv... Håkan Loob is in the studio on Swedish tv tonight, dissecting the pp to pieces... Has it really been that bad?

BTW: He just revealed he has never worn the stanley cup-ring....
