Over the American Thanksgiving weekend, the Calgary Flames defeated the Minnesota Wild, 5-2. It was a good way to wrap up the four-game road trip; the Flames had lost the three previous games. “People think it’s over after 22 games, and we don’t believe it is. So this definitely is a big boost, to be able to break out goals against this team,” said Jarome Iginla who had third period goals which padded Calgary’s lead.

The Minnesota Wild is one of the best teams in the league, so their defeat is no small triumph. I’m sure that Calgary fans are celebrating by putting NHL tire covers on their four-wheelers. (As a fan of many losing sports teams, I know you have to celebrate wins whenever you can).
