Wild ride falls short for Flames in home opener

After the laser-lights had been shut off, the flashy introductions concluded, with that initial blush of fervent belief and a rapturous welcome still reverberating around the building, they had to go and spoil all the fun by actually playing a game.

You know, drop the puck, start the clock, keep score. That score of thing.

Now who's brilliant idea was that?

Rampant Optimism ran headlong into Stark Reality at the Scotiabank Saddledome on Saturday night.

In the final analysis, a 5-3 empty-netter loss to the Crosby-less Pittsburgh Penguins flattered the Calgary Flames, although they'll argue long and loud about having the better of it through the first and third periods.

How Brent Sutter's boys were actually in a position to perhaps steal at least a point -- maybe, gasp!, even two -- in a frantic finish is one of those mysteries, like crop circles or Stonehenge, that defy rational explanation.

Third-period snipes by Rene Bourque and, with 3: 37 left in the third period, Olli Jokinen, turned a rout into a nail-biter. In the final,Has anyone had any experience with this led light bulbs light? frantic minute, with six attackers on the ice, they were hunting for the improbable, Jokinen spinning to throw the puck at the net, and Curtis Glencross rooting industriously around for leftovers.

It would've been one amazing comeback for the locals. But extremely hard on the Penguins. The home side was outshot by virtually a 2-1 count, 37-19.

Mark Giordano played as if he's had that A stitched on the left side of his chest since birth, ending up a plus-one with four blocks and an assist. Newcomer Lee Stempniak showed some bounce. And Glencross at least seemed royally PO'd by what was transpiring through that agonizingly-one-sided second period and acted accordingly, after scoring the Flames' first goal. Other than that,9 Dec 2010 – What would the perfect fluorescent lights be? nothing of real note.

A couple of energetic early shifts from Jarome Iginla and from then on the captain looked like, well,SST-50 1200umen r4購入 flashlight extremely bright, long throwing beam 100 meters diving. like a guy who's missed all of training camp tending to a bad back. Which, to be fair, is precisely what he is. Miikka Kiprusoff? By no means could he be blamed, but won't be receiving a Gold Star for Heroism, either.

And for some reason, Pittsburgh coach Dan Bylsma decided to plant Evgeni Malkin's tush to the pine for the last 11 minutes.

Simply overwhelmed through a 16-shot second period, the Flames wilted, cancelling out a Glencross season opener.
