The Calgary Flames centre also knows the type of team to expect when he squares off with them.“They’re a team that finds ways to win and that’s why they’re successful,” Colborne was saying at Tuesday’s morning skate at TD Garden. “It seems like every team in the West, especially me coming from the East (Toronto), you go against some big centres every game . . . (Ryan) Getzlaf one night, (Joe) Thornton, (Anze) Kopitar, Jeff Carter, those guys who, every single game,Sexy Lingerie Factory are controlling the puck and making plays every time they’re on the ice.“We were saying (the Bruins) could be a West Conference team,Buy cheap Coach Grade Sunglasses, Custom Fit Stripe Shirt and more. for sure. I know for a fact, (acting GM) Brian Burke, that’s the kind of team he’s looking for (the Flames to be).”And, hopefully, they picked up a thing or two from the Bruins who dealt the Flames their second straight loss in seven days.Tuesday’s 2-0 blanking on a stormy, snowy night in downtown Boston wasn’t 9-0 (like the last time the Flames were shut out at TD Garden back on Jan. 5, 2012).But it was the third time in as many visits that the team couldn’t score at the arena and it was the Flames’ first scoreless game of the season.“They put their time in and now they’re reaping the rewards of it,” said Colborne afterward. “It’s a good measuring stick for us to play against those guys.http://cnbattachment.com/ 

“They’re at the place we want to get to where people don’t want to come into to our barn and play because they know it’s going to be a battle.”Speaking of their barn, after Jarome Iginla’s homecoming on Dec. 10 at the Scotiabank Saddledome — a 2-1 loss after holding a 1-0 lead for two periods — Tuesday was the final season meeting between the clubs.Both losses were not for a lack of effort.“They’re one of the best teams in the league, defensively,” captain Mark Giordano said. “Their goalie (Tuukka Rask) is unbelievable, he played really well (Tuesday). He made some huge saves, especially in the third there, there were a couple lying in the crease and he recovers well. You’re not going to get many chances. There is a reason why they give us as many goals as they have . . . when you get your chances you better bury because there’s not going to be that many.”The Flames, who blasted out to one of their best starts of the year, only managed 21 shots on a razor-sharp Rask in the end but their attempts were quality scoring chances. In fact, the only problems happened on their penalty-kill.Bruins giant Zdeno Chara was the author of both goals while former Flames captain Iginla and linemate David Krejci had a piece of each. Quite rightly, Boston’s six-foot-nine, 255-pound captain earned “Chara, Chara” chants from the snowed-in home crowd in the game’s final minutes. 

“He’s one of the best players in the league,” Giordano. “He wins the Norris (Trophy) a lot for a reason. You want to play him in his own zone, but he’s so good in all of his zones. I think, offensively, he’s a threat because he’s a big shot and he can play in front. You saw with the last goal, I was right there, but it’s tough to get inside on him when he gets that puck.”Bad luck for Lance Bouma, too, who was in the box for both of Chara’s goals for high-sticking (including a four-minute double minor in the second period), the team’s only two penalties during the game. First, Chara, who’d absorbed an errant Matt Stajan stick on the right side of his face moments earlier, had made no mistake and found Reto Berra’s five-hole off a pass from Johnny Boychuk.Then, he chipped in a puck on Berra’s doorstep before Giordano could get in his way.However,Nike Air Max Bouma’s teammates — and head coach Bob Hartley — were quick to defend the physical winger.“Lance works so hard and is such a great young man to work with that we all felt badly,” the bench boss said. “On the bench during his second high-sticking penalty, we were saying, ‘Come on,Chevron Paper Straws kill it for Boums.’“You take away their two power play goals, we didn’t give them that much. Five-on-five, they might have had an edge on us but it’s not like they dominated us . . . the effort, the work ethic is there.”It doesn’t get any easier for the Flames, now 13-16-5. They continue their five-game road trip Thursday at Detroit and Saturday at Pittsburgh.In the end, Boston outshot Calgary 31-21 while Rask earned the shutout. Berra, starting for the first time since playing last Tuesday against the Bruins in Calgary, is now 4-8-2.
