My admiration for Kris Russell just grows with every game. Gio has big shoes to fill, but Russ is stepping into them better than I ever expected. What he did in the third period tonite was inspirational.
One week ago most hockey fans outside of a Calgary and many inside of Calgary thought the Flames chances at making the playoffs were hooped.
I dare say after tonite, most fans inside of a Calgary and many outside now are thinking the Flames can still make the playoffs. And the Flames themselves now know nothing is impossible.
These last 16 games are gonna be fun.
