Flames - PR

The Atlanta Flames come out of the offseason with a 1-1-0-1 record. The first game was a heart breaker, where they lost in overtime but by the shot count and the late goals by the Blackhawks, the Flames were clearly the better team. It was a late 5 minute major call to Rick Nash, that was borderline that lead to a loss in overtime. The next game was a barn burner where the Flames lost another 1 goal game. The final game, GM Patrick Amantea decided to switch things up. Rookie, Sergei was clrealy not ready to assume control of the team so he was bumped to the 3rd line to give him some experience. Somewhat veteran, Kris Beech was bumped up to #2 line status and given PP duties and ran with the increased responsibilities. The Flames controlled a Rednexs team by a score of 7-0. The impressive thing is that the Rednex has probably the best top line in the league with Bertuzzi and Kovalev. The Flames are looking quite good this preseason and looking to make a bigger splash in the st
andings after noticing some weird trade activity that appears to have made the Wheatkings very weak in goal and on the blueline. LET THE SEASON BEGIN!
