Finish them!

Doubtless this is the highest of the high points to date this season.

Wins on the road? Check.
Wins on the road with a shootout? Check.
Wins on the road while coming from behind? Check.
Wins on the road against playoff-capable teams? Check.

Definitely there's nothing wrong with our offence. We're not dependent on a handful of players to do their thing anymore - these are arguably the most productive and complete four lines the Flames have put out there in years and years. Our defense? Still shaky at times, but with Hale and Stuart there and Zyuzin behaving, it's starting to look on the ice the way it was supposed to look on paper. And goaltending. No question, Kipper is at the form we need him to be in playoffs. He's the big human Gumby we all know and love.

So there's really only one more mission for the boys this season, before they start getting ready for the playoffs. That would be of course, to lock down a playoff berth.

And it so happens that we've got Colorado all lined up, tied to the post, blindfolded, cigarette in mouth. Question is, can we pull the trigger?

Do it guys, do it!
