Their engines stalled during the national anthem and it was nothing but cough and sputter for the first 35 minutes.
Then a 265-pound spark plug changed everything.
With the Oilers down 2-0, newly-acquired super heavyweight Steve MacIntyre plastered Calgary’s Dustin Boyd into the end boards, essentially turning him into a rinkboard advertisement, then beat up the guy who came to his rescue, Brandon Prust, sparking a three-goal rally that buried the Flames in a sea of Oiler energy.

The Edmonton writer won’t say it, but you really have to respect Prust for coming to the aid of a teammate, stepping way up in weight class, and taking on one of the toughest men on skates. I don’t know if the guy is a bowler or not, but he’s certainly got the 16 lb. balls.
And did you see both benches? These two became instant heroes.
Poor Boyd though, the man got absolutely pasted.
