Loved the effort and the W. The fourth line as a whole were stellar.
Not sure if it was conceded or not but NSH definitely did not bring their "A" game today. I think the Flames would still have got the W but the score would've been closer. They definitely had their foot off of the pedal today.
Hiller should get the ball for a run now. His first period was a bit shakey but expected given it was his first start in 5. Really settled down and helped get the win for the other two periods.
I hope the players know that's the tempo and desperation they're going to need to play with from here on out. If you play like that in St'Louis, you have a real good shot at stealing those two points and really helping out your cause. Here's hoping.
