July 26, 2010 by Ken

In the first game on Sunday night the Flames battled the Maple Leafs who had only 7 skaters dressed for this match up. But that didn’t stop the Maple Leafs from showing up as they took it to the Flames early. Chucky Miranda scored the first goal of the night for the Maple Leafs giving them an early lead 1-0 after one period. The lack of skaters definitely showed in the second as the Leafs looked tired and the Flames took full advantage. Kyle Stevenson scored a pair of goals and Ken Holbrook added late second period tally giving the Flames a 3-1 lead after two periods. The Flames couldn’t exploit the tired legs of the Maple Leafs any further and Leafs goaltender Tim Driscoll held his ground, keeping the Flames off the scoreboard in the third period. The Maple Leafs cut the lead to 3-2 on a Joe Perna breakaway goal with just over 2:00 left to play. The Flames clamped down defensively in the closing minutes and held on for the 3-2 victory.
