Just back from the game and I cannot believe the negativity in here. Was it the greatest game ever? No. But they played solid and got the win they deserved.
Easily - EASILY - the best game they have played defensively this year. And I think maybe that accounts for some of the views in here. They were very focused on playing good defense and maybe it dampened their offensive flow a bit, but they got the job done.
I actually thought the Flyers played well defensively as well, and made it hard for the Flames to get much going.
Thought Ramo was solid. The goal was weak, but his body of work was good overall.
TJ Brodie. Period.
Thought Grant was really good. Bollig too. And Jooris is really starting to skate.
Monahan and Hudler... well, hopefully they can get it going soon.
Backlund was really good tonight. Not just because of the OT goal, his line shut down Giroux's line all night. Really good job by them. And he had jump all night - glad he got rewarded.
I thought they played well.
