Flames Game Night
Coast-to-coast on Hockey Night in Canada, it's the juggernaut that is the Ottawa Senators taking on the Flames in the 'Dome. I haven't watched any of the Sens' myriad blowouts this season, but I understand that Heatley and the lads are pretty good: firing on all cylinders, high-performance, purring like a kitten [That's enough sportscar metaphors!- ed. Sorry.], etc. etc. you get the picture.It's a good night to be a Flames fan. If they win, it's 2 points and it pretty much cinches the fact that last year was no fluke. If they lose, well, the Sens are the best team in the league after all, it's not a conference game, and it just proves to the Flames that they need to keep getting better.
Undefeated NHLer Ray Emery will be in the nets for Ottawa. He clearly needs a dose of reality: are the Flames the team to administer it? Meh - why the hell not! 3-1 Calgary, giving the Sens their first loss of the season on HNIC (and keeping the homeboys perfect). Go Flames.
