Calgary Flames Wallow in Defeat
The Calgary Flames were defeated in the 7th game of their series against the San Jose Sharks on Tuesday night. As soon as the game was over, Flames’ fans had to process the fact that their team’s season was abruptly over.
While looking around for some Calgary fans I stumbled onto a Flames Forum where I witnessed many distressed Calgary fans ponder why their team was unable to pull off the upset against the Sharks. In my opinion, the Sharks got pissed off after falling behind 2-1 and started playing with some heart. They began skating hard and drawing penalties and going hard to the front of the net scoring some dirty goals.
That is what it takes in the playoffs, is getting down and dirty in front of the net, your net and the opposition’s net. In the end, the Sharks spend a lot more time in front of the Calgary Flames’ net and they were rewarded for their efforts with a 5-3 victory and trip to the 2nd round of the playoffs.
