Thought Backlund's line was very effective tonight. They generated a lot of chances and also excelled at falling down all over the ice.
Had no real issues with the defense tonight. All six played a serviceable game.
Johnny Hockey is just unreal. If the Flames can lock him up long term we can look forward to even more special nights like tonight.
Looks like Sean Monahan is back and scoring again. +3 tonight and very dangerous.
Tried to give Hiller a chance but I have no love for him any more. Anything he built up last season is just washed away as he cannot make the big save any more. I would expect to see him back in Europe in the near future.
Crowd felt quiet tonight. I was at the game in Boston and the fans were into it from puck drop. I'm sure it being a Friday night helped but I always hate when the 'Dome turns into a tomb.
Four games in a row! Would love to cap off this home stand with another win!
