Just one more win will do a lot for the Calgary Flames...
Finally, they'd be able to shake off that cloying "cinderella/One-hit-wonder" aura that has surrounded them since their cup run last season.
One more win would help cement all the positives of their division-leading season, 103 point season and simultaneously blur and subdue all of it's disappointments. Iginla wallowing amongst the league's medicore forwards on the scoring charts will mean about as much as a Vancouver fan's opinion during the play-offs...with another win.
Another lone victory would also extend and augment my shameless obsession. More stats! More blogs! More messageboards! More gut-wrenching overtimes! Think "Requiem for a Dream":
without all the interpersonal pathos of course.
Finally, and perhaps most importantly, one more victory would move Calgary ever closer to a potential 2nd round Battle of Alberta (and the Stanely Cup, I guess)! I think even Patton would salivate at the mere thought of that all-out war.
So, for the sake of all the above, please win one more, Calgary. I don't think I can face rehabilitation just yet.
