The Calgary Flames are the talk of the town, with that town being Anaheim, of course.
The Flames are currently winners of nine straight games, a streak that has seen them jump not just into a playoff spot, but to third in the Pacific Division. It's been an inspiring run and one that has caught the eye of Ducks captain Ryan Getzlaf.
"Everybody’s pushing us from behind right now," Getzlaf said, according to Eric Stephens of the Orange County Register. "Watching what Calgary’s doing, those things are motivating factors."
The Flames streak of nine-straight games and points in their last 11 has forced the Ducks to bring their best and they have fared admirably with wins in three of their last four and four of their last six.
Of course the Ducks will need to keep it up as the Flames sit just two points back of Anaheim for second in the Pacific with a game in hand.
