A new form of torture

For Calgary Flames fans, watching their beloved team is a new and painful method of torture. After the first two pitiful games in Detroit, Flames fans were just hoping for a win. Instead the Flames delivered two wins, and played good solid Flames hockey.

As the series returned to Detroit, all tied up, the city of Calgary was renewed with optimism. The Flames had found their game. They had the momentum, and everyones weekend plans involved a couple of weekend games. Just like it was at the start of the series, a Flames series victory seen inevitable for Flames fans.

Heartache, frustration, and annoyance are the common symptoms for Calgary Flames fans now, after the teams brutal loss today. The Flames have played terrible hockey on the road all year, and they seem to be taking it to a new level in the playoffs. Its painful to watch. Really painful.

With a victory in game 6, the pain could reach a whole new level in game 7. With a loss in game 6, at least the suffering will be over for the fans.
