It's great seeing the Flames put together all these passes, forecheck tenaciously, and use their sticks to great effect breaking up plays all over the ice.
What's even better is seeing that they're not firing on all cylinders yet though - plenty of miscommunication, drop passes to no one, that kind of thing. Once they're fully in sync, and the last out of shape stragglers get up to speed, I think we'll really enjoy watching them.
Also, this Wideman-Brodie-Bouwmeester-Giordano thing on the back end is really fixing a lot of the offensive woes of the past - great break out passes all night.
