Pathetic

Pathetic is the word for the Flame Out in Calgary.

Not Choke, that actually would mean they had showed up to play. But they hadn't.

By the second period I had switched to a far less predictable and more exciting competition and tuned in a re-run of Alien vs. Predator

And the Flames Fans well only the Wing Fans were less vocal. Pathetic team matched by pathetic fans.

Only more pathetic was their defeat at the hands of team that was once a Walt Disney fantasy.






Ducks oust the Flames in Game 7

CALGARY, Alberta - The much-ballyhooed Battle of Alberta will have to wait. The Mighty Ducks, not the Calgary Flames, are moving on in the playoffs.

With the Edmonton Oilers waiting in the wings for a potential second-round date opposite their provincial rivals, and the Alberta media whetting the appetite of the local populace with virtually non-stop preview reports, the Flames fell victim to a virtual mirror image Wednesday night at the Pengrowth Saddledome.

Teemu Selanne's team-high third goal of the series gave the Ducks the lead 5:12 into the second period, and they played Calgary-style, shut-down defense the rest of the way en route to a 3-0 victory in the final game of their opening-round battle.
