Default Flames beat Preds 4-3

It really is amazing to watch this kid. We're talking about elite level talent. If there was a definition of a human highlight reel it seems to be Johnny. That move against volchenkov was incredible for a few reasons...

1. That's a veteran shut-down/defensive defenceman that rarely gets beat one on one.

2. Johnny barely had any time/space to gain speed... He received the pass in the middle of the neutral zone and did a sharp turnaround before heading up ice. Despite this, he absolutely blew by the predators' defence.

3. It wasn't like the predators didn't have the time and position to prepare for Johnny coming up the ice. They didn't really get caught on a bad change.

4. He made that move at such a high speed while going straight at a dirty/hulking defenceman and made him look ridiculous.

5. He kept his head up the whole time.

Take notes Taylor Hall... This wasn't some peewee move that you try time and time again and it never works. This was beautiful.
