“There’s no more divisions on the team,” said Hartley. “Everyone’s (been) warned that we’re not going to tolerate this, from the ownership down to the video coach. We preach every day that we’re going to be a team. That’s how we want to create this new chapter. This is the new edition of the Calgary Flames.”

“A relief” is how Monahan described the goal. “Once it went in, I was pretty happy. It was a great feeling. To get it in my second game is pretty awesome. Everything is going so quickly right now. I’m taking it, I guess, one day at a time and, on the ice, one shift at a time.”

“We did a pretty good job,” said Street. “There’s a lot of responsibility on the centre, especially in this system. We’re down low. We’re breaking pucks out. The way that team — and a lot of teams — play, they put a lot of pressure on the defencemen, so you need to be an outlet. A lot of times, you have the puck pretty low in your zone.


“As a young NHL player, it’s not exactly the most comfortable position to be in, but I thought we all did a pretty good job.”

"I think the speed of the game caught some guys off guard," Columbus coach Todd Richards said. "(The Flames) countered really well. They work extremely hard. You've got to give them credit. There were times when we'd just pick our head up and somebody would be there. They forced some turnovers."

"It's not very complicated," coach Bob Hartley said. "Our recipe right now (is) we're going to work, play with passion, guys are blocking shots, driving — we're a team now."

"We have to be resilient in the game," said Hudler, who praised Monahan as a key contributor who has led by example.

"Things are going to happen that won't go our way. Tonight was another great game, a great effort by the guys. We held on at the end — I wouldn't say held on, but we did a good job of holding the lead."
