When the team gives up 39 shots, allowing only 4 goals is pretty good. As the shots go up the save percentage goes down. One thing I noticed is Ramo seems to have a big 5 hole and Ovechkin seemed to be trying to take advantage. I think they've played against each other before.
I can only remember one time the Flames got stuck in their own end for an extended period. I think that will be their weakness with having a small defence. Russel's game seems to be the same as Brodie's, get the puck out quickly and mostly it works.
I don't particularly like Street but he epitomizes the Flames philosophy of getting up after being knocked down and he's producing and doesn't look out of place. Interesting to see who's out after Cammallari and Colborne get in the line up.
