Don't think the Flames were as bad this game as people are suggesting. Bad offensively? Sure. But we played some good team defense and blocked a lot of shots. I thought Wideman was really solid, as was Brodie. We made the Wings look like one of the worst offensive teams in the league and made their PP look impotent. Very tight checking in our own zone and a big improvement in that area from earlier this season.
I wasn't happy we won because of the draft position ramifications. But it is good to see that even without Bouwmeester our team defence looks a heck of a lot better than the Oil.
