The Flames came out on fire with chances early and often but could not convert in the opening moments. About 7 minutes into the period, the Flames struck first when Walter Heid scored his team leading 19th goal of the season to put the flames up 1-0. Shortly after, Brian Corcoran went end-to-end and slid home one of the nicest goals all season past Shortell to give the Flames a 2-0 cushion.

Walter Heid would do it again, this time going end to end putting the moves on everyone and burying his second goal of the hockey game. At the end of the half, the Flames held onto a 3-0 lead going into the second.

Early in the second half, Colin Brady scored a fluke unassisted tally for the War Helmets cutting their defecit down two. Five minutes later, Bryan Cobb would convert on a breakaway chance when he deked Shortell from forehand to backhand to forehand and sliding home his first of the evening putting the Flames back infront by three.

The War Helmets hung around all night, this time when the War Helmets' Anthony Cordiello scored a soft goal of his own, bringing the score to 4-2. The Helmets never got within one during this hockey game and Walter Heid would make sure of that as he tallied the Flames 5th goal, completing the hat-trick en route to a five point night for Walt.

After Paul Nunamacher made it 5-3, Walt found Bryan Cobb for his second goal of the evening to put the Flames ahead 6-3 with just five minutes left in the contest. With time winding down, Walt again assisted on a goal, this time with Tim Snyder on the receiving end when he slid a beautiful pass on his backhand over to Snyder who went shelf putting the Flames ahead 7-3.

Just moments later, Bryan Cobb found Snyder at the blueline where he turned on the jets, beat the defenseman on the backhand and went forehand, waited for Shortell to committ and buried his second goal in a span of 1:30.

Jimmy DeMarco was flat out solid all night, stopping chance after chance, powerplay onslaughts, two-on-one's, you name it. He also got involved in the scoring assisting on Walter Heid's second goal.

The Flames never trailed in this game, and were always in front by two or more. With the win the Flames will battle the Wolfpack, who upset the Fat Kid & Friends, for the Silver Division Championship next Monday night. Check back for more playoff updates as the Championship match approaches.
