I like the push back. Like Elliot mentioned, this team could have packed it in after the second but instead came out and outplayed the sharks in the first 5 minutes of the third. Even Joe Thornton seemed impressed at the speed and fight in the flames. Imo that had a lot to do with the the flames good start, teams now have seen the style and know what to expect. These definitely are not the same flames teams of the past few seasons and it might be hard maintaining this over the course of 82 games, but this team is not the worst team in the league. The more games that are played, the further I am convinced that barring a big win with the draft lotto this team will not have a shot at the first overall pick.
