Flames report: Inside shots

Nine straight games with at least a point. One more to tie a franchise record.

The Flames have an excellent road record this season (9-1-3). If they can continue that roll Monday in Nashville, they'll not only equal the franchise mark, they'll ensure themselves a .500 record during their six-game road trip -- the longest of the season.

Calgary's secret to success is quite simple. The Flames not only have received excellent goaltending throughout this stretch from both Miikka Kiprusoff and Curtis McElhinney, they've also shown resilience when needed and timely goals from several players.

"It's what we did tonight -- try to stay with our game as much as we can," said head coach Brent Sutter. "We don't have to be a fancy team. Stay with our game, play to our identity, and when we do that, we have success. We've gotten in trouble at home by getting away from those things."

The Flames have won three straight overall and have gone 4-0-1 in eight nights since being blasted 7-1 by the Chicago Blackhawks on Nov. 19.

"A lot of confident guys in there," said Dustin Boyd. "There are so many names. I think we have to keep building on that and keep going."

FLAMES 4, BLUE JACKETS 3 (SO): A night of firsts finally helped the Flames win in Columbus again. The Flames won in the Ohio capital for just the fifth time in franchise history and the first time in almost two full calendar years, with a couple of unsung heroes making their mark.

Goalie Curtis McElhinney started for just the third time this season and came up with the win in his first NHL shootout. Jamie Lundmark scored in his first NHL shootout attempt to collect the winning goal after the Flames scored two goals 79 seconds apart in the final six minutes of the third period to force extra time.

(POLL) Well, now we are set, we could very well have the best defense in the league. Our forwards are a little suspect, i kindof wish we never got Jokinin, we could have kept Cammi, but thats neither here nor there.
The question i have is, Who do you think is Calgary's best Defender? Ill throw our top 4 in the mix, i really don't know right now, it is such a tough decision to be made, i actually ha

Probably the most anticipated season for Flames fans since the lockout (or before) gets started up tonite.

Curious as to what others are thinking about the squad and what we can expect.

Sure they look good on paper, but here in Flames land we know all too well that doesnt mean jacks sheets.

I don't know about you...but I sure like the look of his hands!  His legs are the question mark. He looks a bit slower than most of the others.  At 41 I wonder if it's possible to regain the type of speed that is necessary to play in the NHL.

My heart says yes...but I don't want to see him get embarrassed...he is loved in Calgary and just want to see him stay that way.

With all the D that we have, I invision a lot of 1-0, 2-1 games in Calgary's future assuredly not all in the Flames favor.  I propose they trade a Phaneuf for a Marleau or Heatley and prospects either coming or going.  We need a better balance and either one of those could help.  I'd really like to include Brian Ellio ...(more)
