Flames come out firing

The Flames came out last night and shocked most people in the hockey world with a 3-2 win over the San Jose Sharks. They built a quick 2-0 lead in the first period with a great tip in by Stephane Yelle and Dion Phaneuf took advantage by netting a powerplay goal, set up by a great play by Daymond Lankow kicking the puck to Phaneuf in front of the open net. The Shark Tank didn't stay quiet for too long, as Ryan Clowe was able to beat Miikka Kipprusoff who was scrambling around in his net. Each team added one more goal each and the Flames were able to steal game one. Now the Flames have to withstand the onslaught that is to come in game 2 tonight. But they have favored quite well in the second half of back-to-back games, going 8-4 on the season and may have put some fear into the hearts of some of the Shark players with the game they showed they could play.
