PREMIERS SLAM FEDS’ HEALTH FUNDING PLAN OTTAWA (Canadian Press)
Premiers who feel slighted by the federal government on health care funding expressed their frustration yesterday at Ottawa’s tone and position in what they thought were supposed to be negotiations on a long-term deal. Some provinces are accusing Finance Minister Jim Flaherty of presenting a take-it-or-leave-it offer to his provincial and territorial counterparts in Victoria, a gesture they promise to rebuff. “I think the process is unfortunate,” said Saskatchewan’s Brad Wall. “I think the finance ministers were expecting the beginning of a round of consultation and, at least on the transfer piece, that does not appear to be what the federal government’s doing. They’re saying here’s the deal.” Nova Scotia Premier Darrell Dexter rejected the idea that the federal position isn’t open to negotiation. “Absolutely it’s negotiable,” he said yesterday. At Monday’s meeting, Flaherty said Ottawa plans to continue increasing health transfer payments at six per cent annually for the next six years. After that, he said transfer payments will be tied to the rate of economic growth and inflation, which gives the provinces and territories certain and stable health funding. Dexter said the federal plan will hurt smaller provinces like Nova Scotia. “It will essentially divide the country into wealthier provinces that have a better ability to provide health care and those with lesser ability to be able to provide the same services,” he added. Newfoundland and Labrador, Ontario, Manitoba, Quebec and P.E.I. have also slammed Ottawa’s position. B.C. supported Flaherty’s plan. BEST PRICE ED ON NEW & US TIRES WHEELSIES AND ACCESSOR

HIV VACCINE TEST GETS GREEN LIGHT TORONTO (Canadian Press)
Canadian researchers have received approval to begin human testing of an experimental HIV vaccine. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has given the go-ahead to researchers at the University of Western Ontario to test the vaccine, which is based on a genetically modified killed whole virus. The SAV001 vaccine, developed by Dr. Chil-Yong Kang and his team with support from Sumagen Can-
ada, has been shown to stimulate a strong immune response in preliminary toxicology tests. “FDA approval for human clinical trials is an extremely significant milestone for our vaccine,” said Kang, whose research lab has spent the last 10 years developing the vaccine for human testing. Phase I of the clinical trial, set to begin in January, will test the safety of the vaccine in 40 HIV-positive volunteers. If the SAV001 vaccine is found to be safe, it would require two more clinical trials that prove it works before it could be brought to market. HIV-AIDS has killed more than 28 million people worldwide, and more than 35 million people currently live with the infection.

HST | Federal Finance Minister Jim Flaherty is dropping hints that B.C. is in line for an extension on repaying the $1.6 billion it owes Ottawa for turning down the HST.
JEFF NAGEL (Black Press)
Efforts to get a White Rock stop for Amtrak passenger trains have so far failed, but a new push is now on to use Blaine’s historic train station just a short stroll across the border. The idea is that Canadians – particularly from cities like Surrey, Langley and Abbotsford – could park near the Peace Arch border and board trains there to Seattle. “It would have heavy Canadian usage as they could cross the border by foot or bike even,” predicts Bill Becht, one of the Blaine residents behind the campaign to restore the shuttered station. The issue has become urgent in Blaine since BNSF Railway applied for a permit to demolish the old station building. The city has postponed the decision one year while the building’s significance is assessed. “I just want to get more awareness and hopefully there will be a groundswell of support,” Becht said. “Tearing a historic train station down is an asinine thing to do.” He thinks Canadians will be key allies in the fight. The current VancouverSeattle service, which has no intermediary stops north of Bellingham, is much less convenient for the 600,000-plus South of
Fraser residents who must first get to Vancouver’s Main Street train station to board Amtrak or else wait in border lines and drive to Bellingham to connect. Surrey resident Gordon Hall notes Amtrak’s morning trains leave Vancouver too early for anyone from Surrey to get to the station on public transit. “If we could park north of the border, walk to customs and get on the morning train headed south,
then return on the evening train, it would work very well,” he said. Numerous Canadian supporters have already posted on the blainestation.com website. “This concept would bring hundreds of BC residents into Blaine for travel to Seattle and further,” predicted White Rock’s Christy Grant. Metro residents also suggested TransLink buses run an extra eight blocks east from White Rock to the Peace Arch to support the service.

UBC FOOTBALL TEAM STRIPPED OF ALL ITS WINS VANCOUVER (Canadian Press)
The University of British Columbia football team’s memorable turnaround season is now erased from history. UBC has been stripped of all of its 2011 wins for using an ineligible player. The Canada West Universities Athletic Association made the announcement yesterday, adding the school has been fined $1,000 plus an additional $250 for costs associated with the investigation and is on probation through the 2012-13 season. The decision comes after the Thunderbirds posted a 6-2 record, finished in second place in the Canada West conference, and qualified for the playoffs for the first time in 12 years. They beat Saskatchewan 27-22 in the opening playoff round before losing 62-13 to Calgary on Nov. 11. The association said an unidentified UBC player participated in all eight regular season games as well as the two playoff contests despite having already exhausted his Canadian Interuniversity Sport eligibility. Coach Shawn Olsen said violation stemmed from the player’s participation in junior football. Olsen chalked up the situation to an administrative error based on information provided to the player during a previous coaching regime.

TEEN ARSONIST DRAWS 4-YEAR SENTENCE KRISTI PATTON (Penticton Western News)
An Osoyoos teen is looking at time in a federal prison after pleading guilty to an arson that cost a pastor her livelihood. On Monday Phoenix Lonsdale, who previously went by Phoenix McGourty, was handed a four-year sentence on top of the 233 days he already has spent behind bars. Judge Meg Shaw said Lonsdale had a “callous disregard” to the damage he caused both to the physical buildings and to the lives of those who worked, lived and owned businesses in the area. Lonsdale had turned 18 just five days before he set fire to the thrift store in Osoyoos. In November, during the pre-sentence hearing, the court heard that he had
been volunteering at the store, playing the piano during business hours. Lonsdale told RCMP that by setting the fire he thought he would be assisting the thrift store owner and pastor of Osoyoos Christian Ministry Iris DeVries. The court heard DeVries suffered about $50,000 of personal loss, and damage to the building itself was in excess of $500,000. In an apology letter his lawyer read on his behalf in November, Lonsdale said it was a “heart-breaking situation” that the business was losing money. Lonsdale said he thought he could help by setting up a “bona-fide insurance scam” and he did not realize the building and contents were not covered by insurance. No injuries occurred as a result of the fire.
MISSION RECORD (Black Press)
Two men who robbed a store at gunpoint in Mission’s Cherry Hill area Sunday are being sought by police. Just before 10 p.m. Dec. 18, one male entered the store and allegedly brandished a gun and demanded cash. The second man stood outside as a lookout, say police. The suspects fled on foot, police said, with an undisclosed amount of cash. The first male is described as having a medium build, wearing a black hoodie, grey sweatpants and white runners. The only descriptor for the other suspect is that he was also wearing a black hooded sweatshirt.

He was due to go on trial Nov. 21 on charges of unlawful production of pot and possession for the purpose of trafficking, but the case was delayed by the voir dire.

FIRST DEGREE MURDER
CANADIAN PRESS
Quebec Provincial Police Inspector Roberto Bergeron speaks to reporters about the arrests of five men in the murder of reputed organized crime boss Salvatore Montagna yesterday in Montreal.
POLICE ARREST 5 IN SLAYING OF MOB BOSS MONTREAL (Canadian Press)
Five men were arrested Tuesday in connection with the slaying of a powerful Mob boss who once led a New York City crime family. One of those nabbed was Raynald Desjardins, a dominant figure in Montreal with past ties to the Rizzuto family. Salvatore Montagna, an alleged Mafia boss who U.S. authorities identified as once having headed New
York’s notorious Bonanno crime family, was killed near a Montreal-area river on Nov. 24. Desjardins, 59, and four other people are facing first-degree murder charges in Montagna’s death. “We believe we have just dealt a major blow to organized crime, particularly Italian organized crime,” Insp. Roberto Bergeron told a news conference. Montagna’s slaying is the latest in a series of Mafia-related killings and disappearances amid an ongoing power struggle. Vito Rizzuto, the reputed head of the Montreal Mafia, is currently imprisoned in the United States. A rash of killings and disappearances in late 2009 and early 2010 have robbed him of many of his closest family members and allies. Two of the others arrested are Vittorio Mirarchi, 34, and Felice Racaniello, 27. The names of the two others were not released.

Scientists have found two Earth-sized planets orbiting a star outside the solar system, an encouraging sign for prospects of finding life elsewhere. The discovery shows that such planets exist and that they can be detected by the Kepler spacecraft, said Francois Fressin of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics in Cambridge, Massachusetts. But they are too hot to contain life as we know it, with calculated temperatures of about 760 Celsius and 425 Celsius, Fressin said. The star is 950 light-years away from Earth.
International Criminal Court prosecutors said yesterday they will review efforts by Libya’s new rulers to investigate the death of the country’s longtime dictator, Moammar Gadhafi.

Attorney Nick Kaufman wrote to prosecutors earlier this month seeking details of any ICC investigation into the October slayings of Gadhafi and one of his sons, Muatassim, after they were captured by rebels.
The U.S. government is asking scientific journals and two top-flight research teams not to publish details of controversial studies on the bird flu virus, expressing concerns the information could be put to nefarious use.

The journals have not yet decided how to proceed.

The court found that Russia had violated the European Convention on Human Rights by “inadequate planning and implementation of the rescue operation.” The court also faulted the “ineffectiveness” of the subsequent investigation into the raid.

KIM JONG IL’S BODY LIES IN STATE PYONGYANG, North Korea (Associated Press)
North Korea displayed the body of ruler Kim Jong Il in a glass coffin surrounded by red flowers yesterday, and his young heir was one of the first to pay respects – a strong indication that a smooth leadership transition was under way. As the country mourned for a second day with highlevel visits to Kim’s body at a memorial palace and public gatherings of weeping citizens, state media fed a budding personality cult around his youngest known son and anointed heir, Kim Jong Un, hailing him as a “lighthouse of hope.” Kim’s body was wrapped in red cloth Kim Jong Il’s body and surrounded was wrapped in by blossoms of his red cloth and namesake flowers, surrounded by red “kimjongilia.” As blossoms of his solemn music played, Kim namesake flowers, Jong Un – believed to be in red “kimjongilia.” his late 20s – entered the hall to view his father’s bier, surrounded by military honour guards. He observed a moment of solemn silence, then circled the bier, followed by other officials. Outside one of the capital’s main performance centres, mourners carried wreaths and flowers toward a portrait of Kim Jong Il. Groups were allowed to grieve in front of the portrait for a few minutes at a time. “We will change today’s sorrow into strength and courage and work harder for a powerful and prosperous nation, as our general wanted, under the leadership of the new General Kim Jong Un,” U Son Hui, a Pyongyang resident, told reporters. The announcement Monday of Kim’s death over the weekend raised acute concerns in the region over the possibility of a power struggle between the untested son and rivals, in a country pursuing nuclear weapons and known for its unpredictability and secrecy.
But there have been no signs of unrest or discord in Pyongyang’s sombre streets. With the country in an 11-day period of official mourning, flags were flown at half-staff at all military units, factories, businesses, farms and public buildings. The streets of Pyongyang were quiet, but throngs of people gathered at landmarks honouring Kim. The body was laid out in the Kumsusan Memorial Palace, a mausoleum where the embalmed body of Kim’s father – national founder Kim Il Sung – has been on display in a glass sarcophagus since his death in 1994.

IRANIAN EXILES READY TO LEAVE SAFETY OF CAMP IN EAST IRAQ PARIS (Associated Press)
The head of an Iranian exile group says more than 3,000 of its members holed up in a camp in eastern Iraq are ready to leave if they get U.S. and UN security guarantees. Paris-based leader Maryam Rajavi said in a statement yesterday that Camp Ashraf residents are “in principle prepared to relocate to Camp Liberty” – a recently vacated former United States military base – if their safety can be guaranteed. The armed People’s Mujahedeen Organization of Iran moved to the camp during the regime of Saddam Hussein, who saw them as Maryam Rajavi a convenient ally against Tehran. They were disarmed by U.S. soldiers during the Iraq invasion in 2003, and have since become an irritant to Iraq’s Shiite-led government, which is now trying to bolster ties with its neighbour. The United Nations has said that at least 34 people were killed in an April raid on the camp by Iraqi security forces. The Obama administration – hoping to avoid a possible violent standoff – urged the residents Monday to accept a UN-brokered deal to move to the temporary site near Baghdad airport where arrangements would be made for them to resettle elsewhere.

U.S. HOUSE REJECTS PAYROLL TAX CUT WASHINGTON (Associated Press)
as soon as possible,” said the Republican leader of the House, Speaker John Boehner. “I need the president to help out.” If Congress does not break the stalemate and pass a bill by the end of the year, payroll taxes will go up by almost $20 a week for a worker making a $50,000 salary. Almost 2 million people could lose unemployment benefits as well, and doctors would bear big cuts in Medicare payments. The House vote, 229-193, kicks the measure back to the Senate, where the bipartisan two-month measure passed on Saturday by a sweeping 89-10 vote. The Senate then promptly left Washington for the holidays.
The U.S. House yesterday rejected legislation to extend a payroll tax cut and jobless benefits for two months, drawing a swift rebuke from President Barack Obama that Republicans were threatening higher taxes on 160 million American workers on Jan. 1. Obama said the two-month compromise is the only way to stop payroll taxes from going up by two percentage points. “Now let’s be clear,” OBAMA: If Congress does Obama said in a surNOT not pass a bill by prise appearance in the IMPRESSED the end of the year, White House briefing almost 2 million room after the House Americans could vote. “The bipartisan comlose unemployment promise that was reached on benefits. Saturday is the only viable way to prevent a tax hike on January 1st. The only one.” Obama said failure to pass the Senate version of the payroll tax cut extension could endanger the U.S. economic recovery, which he described as “fragile but moving in the right direction.” House Republicans controlling the chamber instead of a two-month extension want immediate negotiations with the Senate on a year-long plan. But the Senate’s top Democrat ruled out talks again yesterday until the House passes the stopgap measure.

A federal jury in Massachusetts convicted Tarek Mehanna on four terrorrelated charges and three charges of lying to authorities. Prosecutors said the 24-year-old Mehanna and two friends conspired to go to Yemen so they could receive training at a terrorist camp with the intention of going to Iraq to fight against U.S. soldiers there. Prosecutors said when they couldn’t find a camp, Mehanna returned home and began to see himself as part of the al-Qaida “media wing,” translating and distributing publications to promote violent jihad. Mehanna’s lawyers portrayed him as an aspiring scholar of Islam who travelled to Yemen to look for religious schools, not to get terrorist training. They said his translation and distribution of controversial publications was free speech protected by the First Amendment. Mehanna will be sentenced April 12 and could be sent to prison for the rest of his life. Mehanna’s attorney J.W. Carney Jr. said the defence team will appeal.

HIS ENTHUSIASTIC RETURN NEW YORK (Associated Press)
Fresh off an inspired writing session, Cameron Crowe is pulsing with enthusiasm. He spent the previous night sitting outside New York’s Plaza Hotel, a spot that made him recall one of his first trips to New York – as a teenage journalist for Rolling Stone – in which he stayed at the Plaza while chronicling a Led Zeppelin tour. “I was just thinking, ‘Man, it’s like no time has passed,’” says Crowe. “This is the future time. That’s what it was. You always wonder, ‘In the future time, what will this all UP NEXT: mean? What will it all amount to?’ That was kind of the revelation of last night: WE BOUGHT Here I am. And it feels like no time.” A ZOO After six years of uncertainly, the present is feeling good for Crowe, the writerdirector of films such as Say Anything ... and Jerry Maguire. He’s back with his first feature film, We Bought a Zoo, since 2005’s critical and box-office misfire Elizabethtown. The new film is a warmhearted family film about a father (Matt Damon) who, after his wife dies of cancer, impulsively buys a rundown zoo to re-energize himself and his two kids. “I don’t look at the time post-Elizabethtown as the bottom of the roller coaster,” says Crowe. “I kind of look at it as a gathering time.” In those years, Crowe plotted a film about Marvin ASSOCIATED PRESS Gaye that failed to get off the ground (he hopes to Cameron Crowe is returning to the big screen with still make it), scripted an adaptation of David Sheff ’s We Bought a Zoo.

7 PIERS MORGAN WON’T DISCUSS MCCARTNEY VOICEMAIL MESSAGE
LONDON (Associated Press)
CNN star interviewer Piers Morgan refused yesterday to disclose details about the most damning links between himself and Britain’s phone hacking scandal – his acknowledgment that he once listened to a phone message left by Paul McCartney for his then-wife Heather Mills. In a 2006 article in the Daily Mail tabloid, Morgan said he was played a phone message left by the former Beatle on Mills’ answering machine, describing it in detail and noting that McCartney “even sang We Can Work It Out into the answerphone.” Mills has said there’s no way Morgan could have obtained the message honestly. Morgan stubbornly refused to answer almost any questions about how he came to hear the message, saying that doing so would compromise a source. Asked by inquiry chief Lord Justice Brian Leveson whether he could supply any information to back the assertion that he had heard the recording legally, Morgan said he couldn’t. Earlier, Morgan said he “doesn’t believe” he had ever listened to hacked voicemail message. He also refused to say who had filled him in about the practice.

GERARD BUTLER RESCUED FROM CALI SURFING SPOT HALF MOON BAY, Calif. (Associated Press)
Gerard Butler is OK after being held underwater by some big waves while filming for a movie about a surfer at Mavericks, a famed Northern California surf break known for treacherous waves. Filmmakers were shooting the Of Men and Mavericks star paddling out with competitive surfers Greg Long, Zach Wormhoudt and Peter Mel on Sunday, the San Mateo County Times reported. The four were steering clear of a set of waves when a much larger set broke in front of them, said Wormhoudt. Butler was held underwater for two waves and washed through some rocks while tethered to his surfboard, Wormhoudt said. A safety patrolman on a Jet Ski swooped in and picked up the actor. Butler was shaken up but not seriously injured, Wormhoudt said. Wormhoudt said Butler had not surfed much before the movie but had made an effort to improve his surfing and water skills for the film. The group had talked about what to do if they got mowed down by big waves, and Butler wasn’t trying to show off, Wormhoudt added.

PLUMMER ENJOYED FILMING TATTOO, WASN’T FOND OF SWEDISH WINTER TORONTO (Canadian Press)
When a book as monumentally big as The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo is turned into a film it stands to reason that the pool of moviegoers knowing nothing about the story may be somewhat small. But Christopher Plummer believes the fans of Stieg Larsson’s Millennium trilogy will be rushing out to see the film adaptation when it opens in theatres today. Plummer considers himself a fan. He found the series “horrifically riveting” as he breezed through all three novels in preparation for playing Henrik Vanger, an elderly business magnate who is determined to find out who is responsible for the disappearance of his great-niece decades earlier. “There’s no danger of people not going to see this movie,” said Plummer. “It’s more attractive to those having read the book, they’re dying to see what the movie has done to it and they’ll be pleasantly surprised.” He particularly singled out the
performance of Rooney Mara, who plays Lisbeth Salander, an outcast investigative hacker who helps reporter Mikael Blomkvist look into the disappearance of Vanger’s great-niece Harriet.
OPENING TODAY
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Christopher Plummer isn’t too upset that he doesn’t get to film the next two movies in the Millenium trilogy in Sweden.
“Mara is a revelation, absolutely phenomenal,” Plummer said, “I thought she was the most extraordinary part of the movie. Plus, David Fincher’s wonderful sort of restless direction and (Trent Reznor’s) incredible score that went underneath ... it’s very clever.” Plummer said he was especially attracted to the film because of his admiration for Fincher’s work. His role comes to an end with the first part of the trilogy but he’s not too disappointed to move on. Plummer had enough of the conditions that accompanied the first film’s shoot in Sweden. “It was so bloody cold, it was freezing in Sweden – inside and out,” Plummer said. “We just ploughed on as fast as we could to get to the restaurant in the hotel, where I could not wait to sit down and have a drink. “I don’t really envy (the other actors), they’re going to be stuck in Sweden for two-and-a-half years. I love Sweden, don’t get me wrong, it’s perfectly beautiful in the spring ... but two years of the winter in the country? Good luck.” ADD YOUR

FOOD, GAS KEEP INFLATION RATE UP AT 2.9 PER CENT OTTAWA (Canadian Press)
Canada’s annual ination rate remained stubbornly high at 2.9 per cent last month as Canadians continued to pay considerably more for food and gasoline than they had 12 months earlier. Statistics Canada said yesterday that grocery prices were up 5.7 per cent in November compared with a year ago as consumers saw double-digit increases for such basics as fresh vegetables and bread. The ďŹ gures included a 1.3 per cent jump from October alone. Overall food prices, including restaurant meals, were 4.8 per cent higher than a year earlier, the biggest such increase since July 2009, the federal agency said. Meanwhile, gasoline also continued to be a key driver of annual ination, rising 13.5 per cent in November from 12 months earlier. However, gas price ination is on a downward track after peaking in May at close to 30 per cent.
NORTHERN GATEWAY UNNECESSARY: REPORT CALGARY (Canadian Press)
A report commissioned by one of the most vocal opponents to the proposed Northern Gateway oil pipeline says the project between Alberta and the West Coast isn’t necessary. It says there’s ample pipeline capacity to handle oilsands production growth of 50 to 100 per cent over 2010 levels by 2025. The ForestEthics report says Northern Gateway’s backer, Enbridge, is basing its assumptions on an oilsands production growth rate that isn’t sustainable. The environmental group plans to submit the report, authored by former Geological Survey of Canada scientist David Hughes, to a regulatory panel that’s reviewing Northern Gateway.

SCORING SPARK RETURNS
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Henrik Sedin (33) looks on as he scores a goal past Minnesota Wild goalie Niklas Backstrom (32) during first period NHL hockey action at Rogers Arena in Vancouver, B.C. Monday
SEDINS LEADING THE CHARGE IN NHL SCORING RACE The more things change with the Vancouver Canucks, the more Henrik and Daniel Sedin stay the same. Similar physical attributes aside, the identical twins have remained quietly consistent as the Canucks (20-11-2) slowly move up the Western Conference ladder after battling injuries and inconsistent play earlier in the season. Now, both Sedins are in position to re-claim the NHL scoring title that Daniel won last season and Henrik took home two years ago. Daniel said yesterday the success has come after he and his equally workaholic brother took longer than usual to get going this season after the Canucks advanced to the Game 7 of the Stanley Cup finals last spring before bowing out to the Boston Bruins. He agreed with coach Alain Vigneault’s assessment that, like the rest of the club, the twins needed time to find more spark after what has frequently been described as a Stanley Cup hangover due to the unusually long season.
“It’s completely right,” said Daniel. “We had a tough start and our team did, too. I don’t know if it was from a hangover or what it was. But, mentally, to get into games, it was really tough. It probably took a good 15-20 games. We can still make some improvement, but I think we’re on the right track.” Heading into last night’s NHL games, Henrik’s 39 points were good for a share of first place in the scoring race with Toronto’s Phil Kessel and Philadelphia’s Claude Giroux, who is out with a concussion. Daniel had sole possession of second place, just a point behind with 38. Daniel has recorded a point in 25 of the 32 games in which he has played, while missing one last week with a sore back. Henrik has produced offensive numbers in 24 of his 33 games. They are raising the question of whether they can build on the strong chemistry that they have displayed in recent years. If Daniel manages to repeat, he would be the first to do so since Jaromir Jagr, then with Pittsburgh, claimed the last of his five consecutive points titles in 2001-02.
OTTAWA (Canadian Press)
Erik Condra scored twice for the Ottawa Senators with the newly-acquired Kyle Turris picking up an assist in a 4-1 win over the Buffalo Sabres last night. Turris was making his debut with the Senators after being acquired from the Phoenix Coyotes in a trade on Saturday. Zack Smith and Erik Karlsson also scored for the Senators (16-14-4), while Craig Anderson made 22 saves. Jordan Leopold had the lone goal for the injury riddled Sabres (16-14-3) and Ryan Miller stopped 36 shots. On the winning goal Turris fired a shot at Miller, grabbed the rebound and passed it to Condra who scored his fifth of the season. Ottawa added a power-play goal with less than two minutes remaining when Alfredsson fed Karlsson all alone to score into a wide open net. This was a typical Sabres-Senators game with little for the 18,474 on hand to get excited about as the game was tied 1-1 heading into the third. Ottawa had the better of the chances in the second, but Buffalo made the most of its power play and Leopold was able to beat Anderson with a quick wrist shot to tie the game. The Senators took a 1-0 lead midway through the first period. Chris Neil was stopped on a breakaway, but Smith was there to tap in the rebound. Neil picked up his 100th NHL assist on the play.
B.C. BOY
IGINLA LIFTS FLAMES PAST WILD CALGARY (Canadian Press)
Jarome Iginla scored the go-ahead goal and also had an assist last night as a return to home ice helped the Flames get back in the win column with a 2-1 victory over the Minnesota Wild. Tied 1-1, Iginla gave the Flames the lead at 6:02 of the second period on a spectacular individual effort. Defenceman Derek Smith fired a shot toward the net that Josh Harding stopped, but the rebound dropped at the feet of Iginla and two Minnesota defencemen standing right beside him. The Flames captain outmuscled both Jared Spurgeon and then Marco Scandella to corral the loose puck and then knocked it past Harding for his team-leading 13th goal. Curtis Glencross with his 11th goal also scored for Calgary (15-15-4), which was fresh off a four-game road trip. The game was a showdown between two struggling, depleted teams, each on identical four-game winless skids. In contrast to their road struggles, the Flames continue to play well at home where they’re unbeaten in their last seven. Pierre-Marc Bouchard scored the lone goal for Minnesota (20-10-5). The Wild have lost eight of their last 10 away from home. Miikka Kiprusoff made 29 saves for the Flames after giving up nine goals in his previous two starts.
