Not so Duck-y: Flames shutout in Anaheim
By WES GILBERTSON, QMI Agency
ANAHEIM — They stopped officially calling it The Pond in 2006. It’s been a black hole for the Calgary Flames for even longer than that. After Friday’s 4-0 shutout setback against the Anaheim Ducks, the Flames have now lost 16 consecutive regular-season clashes at what’s currently known as Honda Center. It’s been 3,337 days since the crew from Calgary celebrated a Jan. 19, 2004, win in Anaheim. And counting. There have been two lockouts since then. Heck, there have been two leap years since then. In Calgary’s last win in Anaheim, the game-winning goal came courtesy of Martin Gelinas, with Craig Conroy collecting four assists on the night. |
