Ramo was rock solid. The one goal was a perfect shot just under the bar. I'll be very disappointed if he doesn't start next game.
Almost 30 minutes of ice time for Brodie. I think this may be his best game yet in a Flames uniform. Watching him clear the puck time and time again on the 5 minute kill was a thing of beauty. That he got an assist on the shorty was just the icing on the cake.
Really impressed with Backlund as well. Hopefully he realizes that he needs to play like that all the time if he wants to stick in the NHL.
Not sure what to think of Byron. Yes, he got an assist, but that goal doesn't happen if Scrivens doesn't blow a tire going out to play the puck. Was pretty much invisible otherwise.
One thing that really stood out for me was the lack of icing calls against Calgary. In the past few games it seemed like they were icing the puck several times a period. Tonight I think they might have had four or five icing calls for the whole game. Really seems to help if you aren't constantly starting in your own zone with tired players 
Overall, good character road win for the good guys  |
Yes, he was.
However, Byron was full marks for that assist. Game changer!
