Awesome win!! Flames just dominated the game from the start. Flames are so much faster and they are suffocating defensively. Papa and Mama Gaudreau should be at every game because Johnny Hockey seems to be playing well whenever they are around. I love Hartley's line match-up on the Sedin's line vs Stajan's line. I always thought Stajan is much better match up than Monahan's line or Backlund's line. I guess it is a good thing that we keep him this season. Ferland was awesome again. Bieksa, Szbisa, Weber and even the Sedins are watching over everytime he's on the ice. Bieksa seems to be nervous everytime he sees Ferland coming...yep dumb-dumb who's irrelevant now?
The whole team played well and did not see any passenger for this team in this game. Jonas Hiller was great again. The only goal he gave up wasn't even his fault. I guess that's the only way the Canucks can score..going through Flames player's leg or stick. Only thing that scares me about Hiller is the amount of rebounds he gives up but as long as he can make a save on those rebounds I am fine with it. Sam Bennett again played well. This guy got a knack on going to the dirty area (in front of the net). He really reminds me of Doug Gilmour's gritty play. He is getting better and better every game. By the start of next season, he'll be one of our top man. Just loving it.
I really wish the Flames will finish them off on Thursday night. I don't want them giving the Canucks a chance to think they get a shot of winning this series.
