Flames celebrate win with Johnny Cash

I didn't catch all of the songs the Calgary Flames used after eliminating the Sharks last night -- it was loud in the Saddledome -- but one of the dj's picks stood out.

While the two teams shook hands, Ring of Fire by Johnny Cash played over the arena loudspeakers. Very appropriate lyrics: "I fell in to a burning ring of fire / I went down,down,down / and the flames went higher."

While a bit low-key, it was a nice break from the usual high-tempo dance stuff you usually hear during win celebrations.
