Flames are on fire
Today with a 1-0 win over the Detroit Red Wings, the Calgary Flames have taken a 3-2 lead in the series. The pace of the games and the travel has started to wear on the Detroit players, and injuries to key players like Chris Chelios and Steve Yzerman don't help their cause (hopefully Stevie Y's eye is ok).
This city is going absolutely nuts over the Flames. With every victory, people are whipped up into a frenzy for several hours afterwards. If the Flames should knock Detroit out of the playoffs on Monday, Calgary will erupt. There was a huge spontaneous parade/party when the Flames beat Vancouver out of the playoffs, the sort of party that usually only occurs when a city wins a major sports championship like the Stanley Cup... and that was just for the first round, just for making it a quarter of the way through the playoffs.
