The Calgary Flames are a team that will need some help to make the playoffs, to the point where some have already made the point of declaring them dead and buried. The Flames won a very tightly-contested game against the Edmonton Oilers at the Saddledome tonight. Following the game, the team blared the 1993 hit “Zombie” by the Cranberries in their locker room. It seems like an odd choice, but considering many consider the Flames dead already, maybe their status among the living has them seeming like zombies.
The locals face a very steep uphill battle towards a playoff spot, but they’re still alive after a playoff-style win over the Oilers.
