In one of those days where Calgary sports fans were in a conundrum, the Calgary Stampeders kicked-off at 8PM, the Flames concluded their pre-season at home against their provincial rivals the Edmonton Oilers. The spirited fight filled affair saw the Flames come from behind and win in OT thanks to ex-Oiler Curtis Glencross.

Folks, the top line did nothing, but with almost a complete lineup in tact it was--get this--secondary scoring. David Moss continued the scoring trend and the new Matthew Lombardi is Dustyn Boyd. After years of non-existent scoring from lines 3-4 (sometimes 2), the Flames added players, Bourque, Glencross, etc., who have improved the team on the tertiary lines. The only issues seem to be finding chemistry on the top lines. No problem in our opinion to place Cammalleri on the top line instead of Bertuzzi. However, get this, Cammalleri was doing the 'Tanguay' and killed penalties for spots in the first.
Yes it's the pre-season but I'm wary.....Curtsy M (I can't spell his name) went the distance in goal.

Welcome Flamesforum readers to our first post-game, albeit pre-season, of the 2008-09 NHL season. Tonight the Calgary Flames picked up their first pre-season win in their second attempt versus the Phoenix Coyotes at the MTS Center in Winnipeg. The old Jets returned to their old home to a fan base that's--well--changed somewhat in the favour of the Flames. Both teams skated lineups without their top stars--likely slotted for tomorrow's rematch in Calgary--but the game wasn't without its excitement. Read the rest of this entry »
