Oilers, ‘Canes… That don’t impress me much

Okay, so we’ve won two of our last three… as Shania would say, “That don’t impress me much!”

I’m sorry to say this but the Flames are supposed to win these games with or without the Stajan’s, Hagman’s and the Kotalik’s.  Simply put, they’re getting their feet wet and to do it against teams like Carolina, Florida and Tampa Bay is a good thing.  Wait ’til next week when we’ll play the surging Ottawa Senators, Dallas Stars and Anaheim Ducks… that’ll be the true measure for the Flames.

Being at last nights game, it was great to see the new guys in action and to be honest, they didn’t play well but well enough to win.  Good things included Kotalik, who looked like he wanted to play, Higgins and his Green hard hat style play, Boyd who really worked his butt off and Glencross with his resurgence of an all around player.  My highlight was the Giordano hit on Pitkanen.

4 wins in the next 5 games will solidify my faith in the trades but anything less than 3 wins and it’s going to be like walking on egg shells around the management offices of the Calgary Flames.

Always a pleasure.
