Post-Game: An Avalanche of bounces
(Isaiah J. Downing / USA Today Sports)With the holiday break behind them, the Calgary Flames seemingly got a gift from the schedule makers in the form of a date with the Colorado Avalanche. The Flames were a bit late to show up to this one, but they managed to create offense by hook or crook and came away with a much closer than it needed to be 6-3 victory in Denver.
THE RUNDOWN
The first period looked like a game between two teams that had three days off; lots of icings, off-sides and missed passes for both clubs. The Sportsnet crew repeatedly reminded the viewing public that the Flames flew into Denver this morning, but Colorado looked just as jet-lagged.
