Natural Hat-trick Mike Cammalleri
A red hot Vancouver Canucks team welcomed the Calgary Flames for the third game between the two teams and the first of a brief two game home-at-home series. Vancouver is unbeaten in 10 whereas the Flames are on-again off-again winning two of the last three. Calgary had the most to prove getting beaten badly by Vancouver to open the season.
The start of the game had less apprehension and energy as the season opener, however, the teams quickly found their feet and started the crashing and banging.

After one slump and one jump, the flaming C’s (12-9-1) head off to the coast to challenge their western conference rivals, the Vancouver Canucks who are 14-6-2. Albeit the stats are notoriously in favour of the Canucks who rank #3 in the western conference division, but the game on Tuesday night proved that the Flames (#7) are a jubilant team who can work miracles on ice should they so desire.

The off and on-again Calgary Flames returned to their winning ways at home defeating the rebuilding LA Kings--one of the youngest teams in the NHL. The City was abuzz from the afternoon celebrations with the Calgary Stampeders at Olympic Plaza. Although only 12000 showed for the party, 19000 packed into the 'Dome, of course, you wouldn't know it given the library quiet crowd.
Luckily the Flames didnt care and produced a high-scoring outing for a team that has only playted outside of California five times this season.

The most significant day has arrived when the Flames’ confidence and determination will be attested by the 2nd best team in the Western Conference, the Red hot and mighty Wings. No doubt, the Flames’ performance had been excellent against the Colorado Avalanche in every respect – they remained dominant and consistent for the most part, were well disciplined, controlled the play and maintained their game plan. Albeit they had their fun at the Av’s expense, but their presentation on Saturday will be the decisive factor whether they intend to continue their winning streak to three in a row.

The second game in three nights against the same opponent for the forth of six meetings this year. Calgary looked to improve on the one game win streak (does that count) by turning up the heat on the road in Colorado--something they've struggled to do this season.

A beautyflame (4-1) win against the Colorado Avalanche gave the Flames a 2-0 edge against their western conference rivals. The triumphant performers demonstrated the effectiveness of the “us” factor – regardless of who scores, the team gets the two points. It is the input from the forwards and defence (together) that matters – not the individual “I” who plays the game. With one accomplishment in place, the victorious Flames will now strive for a back to back victory in Colorado. They will hopeful strive for their third win in the next best of the west series on Thursday, November 20th.

Calgary Spends Entire Game Shooting Straight at Goalie
Two steps backwards and one step forward. That's the way the Calgary Flames have been six game winning streak in October. Two divisional rivals faced each other for the third time this season with Calgary taking the first two. Calgary returned home to play against Colorado and a hot Peter Budaj. The Flames faced the same stoic netminder, albeit they didn't test him hard, but they did throw over 30 pucks at him, 20 blocked, after two periods.

The well reprimanded Flames (courtesy of purrfect reffing) will be hosting the Colorado Avalanche at the Pengrowth Saddledome on Tuesday, November 18, 2008 at 7:30 pm. Conspicuously, a deep cloud of uncertainty hangs on: Can the Flaming “C’s” bring back the preseason success back on ice?

Fans Pissed for Paying PPV Fee for Garbage
Re-match from last season's opening playoff series, only problem, just one team showed up. The Calgary Flames left home to fly to San Jose to play against the nearly perfect SJ Sharks. Turns out they should have stayed on the plane. When playing against the elite teams, Calgary, still, year after year, are marginal at best. Mike Keenan attempted to rouse the troops in Calgary against Toronto and succeeded to some degree thinking he found gold with an Iginla Boyd Glencross line. Nothing translated to success tonight.
