Will the flames rebound?

The answer to that question is hard to say. The flames have dropped back to seventh in the confrence, which is just too close to not even reaching the playoffs. To answer in short, I think the flames still have a chance to win the Norhwest division. But, if they are going to do that, they will have to act quickly. Time is beginning to become the Flames' greatest enemy. I say this because as the season goes on, each team tightens up and it becimes so much harder to win games. And, losses seem to have a increasingly larger impact as the season goes on. For the flames to capture the northwest division title, they must do some things. One of them is score. I think their new acquisitions will help a lot, but Iginla must be the leader. In saying that, I have full confidence that Iginla will do so.
Another thing is that Vancouver needs to start losing some games!!! If vancouver continues the play that they've shown of late, I doubt the flames can overtake them for the division lead. Right now, Vancouve has won 8 of their last ten games!! I don't think the Flames can keep up with that right now.
These next few games, I believe, could very well set the tone for the rest of the season. Tomorrow night, they play the Ottowa Senators in Ottawa. The seators have done very well lately, and I'm not sure Calgary can get 2 points from that game.
This paragraph is wholly devoted to thanking Mikka Kipursoff (the goalie of the Flames) for how awesome he has been this year. Without him, the Flames would suck. He never gets enough credit for the time and effort he puts into playing hockey. He has been the foundation of the Flames, and will probably always be until he retires. And, the best thing is that he never gets injured! That's important because our backup goalie is really young, and isn't very good. I know that's true because I watched him play when me and some of my family went to St. Louis to see the Flames play. We lost 4-3. In conclusion, the predominant reason for the Flames' success is our goalie, Mikka Kiprusoff.
To conclude this post, the Flames still have time to regain the northwest division lead, and maybe even triumphantly hoist the stanley cup, and satisfy the want of all Flames fans. Sorry, that was just me daydreaming for a second. But, they cannot wait. Time is running out, and soon it may be too late. But, if Brent Sutter can gather his troops, and Ales Kotalik can keep his tie-down on, I think the Flames may have victory close within their grasp.
