Artist rendition of Rene Bourque's second goal Wednesday night @ COL
The Flames came into Colorado last night and were able to walk out with a huge win, but saying that has sort of lost its value at this point in the season. Remember January? I try to forget about it too; it was the month when Calgary lost nine games in a row, forgot how to score, and more or less forgot how to play in general. Out of those nine games, imagine if the Flames had even won less than half of them. Let's say they beat Columbus, Anaheim, Dallas, and St. Louis instead of losing to all of those teams (technically Columbus was before the stretch, but fuck off). That would have netted them an extra six points (because they lost to Dallas and St. Louis in OT). Those six points would have gone miles now.
Calgary is now one point back of Detroit, who has a game in hand on the Flames. Detroit is chilling out in Kelowna right now, which should probably be a nice break for the big red machine. Alas, just when you think that the Flames might have some positive momentum going on their side, one look at who they play next rips your heart out of your chest while Goliath steps on it.
Highlights from the 9-1 loss earlier in January:
Meanwhile, who does Detroit have to play next?
