On top of finally getting over .500,
- Flames 5-2-1 in their last 8 at home to get that record back over .500 as well;
- Calgary's PK, which started the year dead last, has killed off 28 of the last 30;
- Loved Stajan's hustle again, but tough night in the circle for him, going 6 for 20
- The difference between this game and game 1 vs. the Sharks: chances from the slot. Calgary did a much better job of clogging up the middle (with a few glaring exceptions in the second off of turnovers).
- Wish more of Calgary's D would follow Brodie's lead and try to skate with the puck rather than automatically firing it away. The panic threshold for this team is still too low leading to icings and easy reads for opposing D to pinch down the boards.
