Oilers Flames Shootout

Last night the Oilers and Flames tested new froaen waters in the NHL. After 60 minutes of play, the game was ties, and we got our first look at the new NHL shootout rule. Personaly, I think the Oilers just let the Flames tie them so they could see how it would work, as we all know that in a real game, the Flames are hardly qualified to sharpen the Oilers skates.

With Jarome Iginla, Tony Amonte, Daymond Langkow, Roman Hamrlik and Jordan Leopold left in Cowtown, the Calgary power play stiffed, going 0-for-10. Morrison, pushing for a job behind Ty Conklin, had something to do with that, making 24 saves.

Was there ever any doubt? But the fans rose to their feet for the big finale, the shootout.
Ryan Smyth, the pride of Edmonton rolled in while Brent Krahn was no doubt shaking in his boots, hey, maybe boots woulda helped, and pounded one into the webbing, giving Edmonton the win. No doubt the first of many, many more. At least the NHL is nice enough to let the Flames play with the big boys.......
