The reason the Flames are winning is because everything is breaking their way at the moment.
Joey MacDonald has a .944% save percentage in the last 5 games and Kipper has a .930% in his last 3. That would be tied for one and two in the NHL.
Its kind of funny proclaiming all these young Flames have arrived when most of them have fewer then 10 NHL games. That's very HFboards.
