Sometimes, the Calgary Flames are really, really bad. Sometimes, the Calgary Flames are really, really good! And apparently sometimes you’ll get the best and the worst of them all within a single night with no apparent rhyme or reason. I suppose that probably goes for most teams, really, but when the margins are getting awfully close, the bad gets that much more pronounced – while the good needs to keep on coming.
Still a little too close for comfort
It took the Flames a little bit to get going, but when they did, wow. Sure, the Kings took it to them in the first several minutes, and even got a lucky goal out of it, but once the Flames took off, there was just no catching them.
