Missed the first period but from what I saw in the 2nd and 3rd I was very impressed witht the Flames. Great overall compete level and weren't afraid to mix it up with the rough stuff either. The score doesn't matter, Price won it for the Habs, but the growth the Flames are showing is incredible, they are a gutsy team. Once the confidence and skill level of some guys starts to really take hold this team will be on the upswing again. I thought this would be a really painful season but once again I love how the team is competing.
