Re sellouts: I'm proud we were still selling out 5yrs after our last playoff game. For the record, Vancouver sellout is 18400. We are still above that, and they were in the finals in 2011... #bandwagon
Re Ferland: He played really well. Looked like he belonged. Unfortunate that he was put out by a dirty hit. Almost identical to what burrows was suspended for 3 games for. Bad break!
Re Hartley: if he isn't extended I would be stunned. And disappointed. Does Treliving think he can lure a certain Phoenix coach over? Sorry. Didn't mean to. This isn't TEE-DOT! Also: he plays kids in a position to succeed, and keeps on talking about playing in JUNE! I think he believes it too. He's a KEEPER!
Re Monahan: Fentastic. On par with last year points and goals wise. Maybe ahead. But HE IS THE NUMBER ONE CENTER NOW. And he's not out of place. Also seems to have figured out the powerplay!
Re BRODANO: Yes. It's a thing now! #brodano! Can they share a Norris? Unfortunately neither will win if both are this good (unless they are split up). Please god never let them be split up!
Re Hiller: Looked human tonight. Not bad, just average. I'm thinking the alternate starts are back on. Again, not bad, but not great.
Re Gaudreau: LEGEND-wait for it-ARY. Can't wait for it! So slick! So smooth! So FRESH and SO CLEAN CLEAN!
Something tells me that Johnny has a permanent fixture on the Molson Cup for years to come...
I agree I'm very positive after this game, but truly this is based on this whole seasons view.
I know there are some hard times to come, but we just gave a team their 2nd regulation loss, and the 2nd of Their 5 losses this season. And if I'm not mistaken, the Flames did defeat both the Hawks and Kings in the season series last year. This team comes to play! Speaks to Hartley more than anything!
