Great game, Flames were in control almost the whole game. LA had a few pushes but they just don't feel like they are creating a lot of dangerous offensive chances even when they have zone time.
Elliott wasn't tested that much but he sure looked solid when he was.
Gaudreau was great. He's so quick and it's a pleasure to watch him make plays out there. Him and Monahan were dialed in tonight.
The Tkachuk play was pretty dirty but I'm in the camp where it's more of a 2 minute penalty than a potential suspension. They were battling like crazy that shift and I think that Tkachuk was definitely taking a shot at him but probably didn't expect it to catch him right on the chin. I guess we'll see...
Stone had some solid defensive plays tonight and that was a great shot on his goal!
Flames looked great. Even Chiasson had a good game on the top line after struggling mightily in the same role earlier in the year. Keep rolling boys!
