Jonas Hiller was lights out tonight. He was solid and couldn't fault him on that goal. That was an awesome tipped in. I love the competition between Hiller and Aramo. I don't really if the Flames employ the 1A and 1B goaltender as long as both of them play the way they've been playing.
Flames was actually pushing it with so many penalties tonight. Luckily the PK guys and Hiller especially shut the Hawks down.
I didn't see the first and second period but I saw the whole third. Backlund and Byron was awesome during those period. I didn't even see Johnny Gaudreau on the ice in the 3rd. I guess him, McGrattan and Setoguchi was pasted in the bench on that period.
Good back-to-back win by the Flames. Too early in the season but I am liking the development of Backlund, Byron, Brodie and Ramo so far. I hope they keep it up. I also feel that once Gaudreau notch his first goal, don't care how, he'll start picking up his game. He is struggling a little bit but that's understable being his first season in professional hockey.
