Tonight’s game between the Calgary Flames and the visiting Chicago Blackhawks was nothing short of incredible. It had all of the elements of a good hockey game and it’s just what I needed tonight after watching the Montreal Canadiens get swept.
On a night when two normally exceptional goaltenders seemed to fall apart, the Flames skated away with a 6-4 victory over the Blackhawks. The Flames, at one point, had a 4-1 lead and blew it with sloppy, lazy skating. Also, I don’t know what was going on with Miikka Kiprusoff (CGY) or Nikolai Khabibulin (CHI) but between the two of them, 10 out of 58 goals managed to make it into the back of the net. Not great but it made for an exciting game.
Newly acquired center, Olli Jokinen, finally showed why he was worth the trade by making his presence known throughout the game and posting his very first playoff points (2 goals and an assist). Jarome Iginla, who had taken a good amount of verbal abuse in Game 3, also scored a pair of goals.
With the series tied, the Flames will head back to Chicago for Game 5 on Saturday.
