The Calgary Flames beat the Vancouver Canucks by a 7-3 score tonight in their final home game of the season and their second-last game overall.
Neither team was particularly crisp, or showed signs of becoming a playoff team overnight. The Flames were more energetic, though, and rode good games from a handful of players to a fairly one-sided victory. The win doesn't mean anything, really, but it at least provides some positives for a fanbase that has suffered through a pretty disappointing, up-and-down season from the boys in red.
THE RUNDOWN
If you like sloppy defensive hockey, you probably loved the first period of this game (and the game overall).
