- David Rittich | 2-0-0, 1.00 GAA, .953 SV%

I am of the firm belief that if our goaltenders are rolling with numbers like this, we could easily compete with Tampa (and hopefully will when it matters most). Those stats are amazing!

This cannot be thanked enough. Gene Principe may be a great guy also, but when you have Leslie and it's time to work it's like comparing a sharp business suit to sweatpants with good shoes.

Islanders - 22nd
Devils - 20th and without most of their roster


A far cry from Tampa, San Jose, Pittsburgh, even Carolina who are on fire offensively and have crept up to 15th

Please post TB, SJ, Pittsburg and Carolina’s schedules so we can see if your needles point is even a valid comparison.

Yeah, maybe soft schedule in terms of opponents but for actual travel the Flames schedule has been insanity.

East coast with Washington and Carolina to start, back to Calgary for one game. Off to Vancouver on Canada's west coast then out to f'n Tampa from there. Back home for three. Well since they've done two eastern swings this month that must be it right? Nah bro, how about you do another quick one to end the month. Insanity.

Tampa has one more ROW than Calgary

Although I’m chuffed we won, the win is secondary to that.

When I was trying to explain the comment to my wife who doesn't watch oilers boadcasts that pretty much the same analogy I used. I may have also mentioned creepy and weird.

Can’t ask for much more coming off a mini blip and 4 game losing streak. Respond with 7 in a row, now both goalies are going, and depth starts scoring! Truly is what good teams do.

Heard on the radio last night that the Flames have one if easiest strength of schedule the rest of the way. Which means the are at 89 points after having played one of the toughest schedules season to date. Very exciting.

Hey, do you guys remember back in December when the Flames were scoring at will and the top line was dominating, and the question was asked, “How does the team continue to find success when checking gets tighter, and the top-line finds it more difficult to score down the stretch?” Remember?

THIS IS HOW IT’S DONE.

I wasn't comparing our schedule to those teams.

I was comparing our last six games to the handful of opponents faced right before that.
