When you have three guys that don't panic in their own zone, and consistently out "wait" the forecheck to open up better and quicker paths up the ice the team's game changes on a dime.
We've been seeing this for awhile now. Game in and game out.

I'm getting sick of hearing that Calgary has the least talent in the league, the weakest defence on paper..etc...ad nauseam. Nine teams in the league have given up more goals than the Flames, including the Leafs. An extra twenty goals, and we're a middle of the pack team. Not what our goal should be, but not bad for a team that was just blown up.
