I just love this team speed!! I remember so often watching the country club guys dither with the puck, looking for it in their feet, taking waaaaay too much time trying to figure out what to do next. So frustrating!
This whole team is playing with blazing speed. The Sharks are a fast team and the Flames looked quite on pace with them the whole night -- in fact the Sharks never really looked overly dangerous to me. The 'Yotes - well the Flames were a step faster and showed it all night long. They are such a pleasure to watch!
Even when they lose they work and (mostly) skate. How they lost to the 'Canes I can't figure out except that they were at the back end of a long trip and must've been gassed. Very uncharacteristic.
Hartley has done a wonderful job!! Glad to see all the boys playing together and the old guys enjoying their enthusiasm.
