2010 Flames Return From Shutdown With 4-0 Shutout Win

Most all go along with the rules set in place by authorities either because they wrap their heads around the rule and conform as such. Or they follow because the sacrifice of following is worth the result gained to the vested individual. Either way, the hockey community were good little performers, jumping through hoops, overcoming obstacles, balancing on thin lines, and doing what was necessary to allow healthy families to participate in teamwork and exercise after they were banned for two weeks.

The 2010 Flames returned to the ice at West Side Arena and played a ‘rusty’, but solid team game from start to finish, earning a 4-0 win against the Cyclones. The Flames travel to Rochester, NH tomorrow for their next game, at 11:45am.

Enjoy some pictures from this morning’s game. In truth, I actually think that I was more ‘rusty’ than the players were. Click on the pictures to enlarge and notice details. Have fun!

Soucy fires a shot while Teddy cuts right, to follow the shot.

Between The Pipes

: Frame 1 – shot fired

: Frame 2 – “I can’t quite reach it.”

: Frame 3 – “I was in perfect position because they had to shoot over the net to get it past me.”

: “I think I will just sit back and kick this save into the slot.”

: “Piece of cake! No, seriously, I could go for a piece of cake.”

: Cam plays the old, “Made you look” game.

: The shot gets through to the goalie and Teddy sees that the puck is not yet covered.

: Logan “The Freight Train” McCain leans into a shot on goal.

: Cam gets the puck from the McCain shot and puts it into the net.

: After two weeks of ice rink shut downs in NH, this is a reminder of what a face-off might look like.

: Just a cool picture of Colby letting one fly.

: This was a great play that started all the way back in the defensive zone, capped off by a feed from Gavin “Pear Tree” Petrie to Cam “There I Go” Desruisseaux.
