All in all, I think the Knight call up went perfectly. He got his feet wet in the NHL and by the time it ended he had proven to the coaching staff, management, fans, and hopefully himself that he can play in the NHL.

Now he can go back down and focus on trying to win a championship with the Heat and go into the off-season with a realistic goal of winning a bottom six spot on the Flames next season in training camp. Now he knows exactly what he is in for and can adjust his training accordingly.

Who does he usually play with on the Heat?

Just as an aside: I'm fairly certain that scoring the goal and the shootout winner will make a big difference going forward. I watched the Flames practice the day before the Anaheim game and Knight looked very nervous out there. He seemed tense and was constantly looking around to see what other players were doing, never smiling or joking around with the guys. I heard somewhere that Hartley spoke to him and Hanowski and told them they were playing like they were expecting to be sent down at any time and I think that was probably around the time of this practice. He really won me over after looking shaky the first couple of games, so here's hoping that has a new sense of confidence.
