Flames - PR

The Atlanta Flames started the season off with quite a BANG! The Flames, unluckly had to play their first game against the back to back, TFHL champions, Michigan Pain. Looking at this first game, this did not bode well for a team that needed early confidence to start the season well off. Apparently, this did not matter as the Flames pounced the Pain 8-4. What was truly amazing was the true outburst of offense that shows what the Flames are capable of this season. The Flames managed to make the Pain pull top goalie, J-S Giguere and continue to lightup their backup. Flames GM, Patrick Amantea was quite pleased with the outcome. "What truly amazed me was the scoring in the third period. The Flames managed to score 4 goals in LESS THAN one minute. I was also quited impressed with our PP and even strength play. Last year, our EV play killed us. Our PP was amazing but EV was average at best. Without the Pain's killer PP, the score would have been very one sided. I also believe we s
hould start the playoffs tomorrow so the Flames are locked for a playoff spot." :P

Could the Flames be actually pulling itself together for once? Only time will tell as they prepare for the Saints tomorrow.
