That was a really hard to watch first period. The whole game was meh, but there definitely were some highlights and the fact the Flames won still amazes me. After the first 15 minutes, I thought no chance to win the game at all.
Johnny's defensive shift and taking the body was great to watch. Thought Colborne and Ferland got a lot of ice time simply because of their big bodies and it paid off with a lot more cycling and a lot more offensive zone time.
Ramo deserves a ton of credit for a very well played game and keeping the boys in it, in the first period.
Brodie was excellent...again. Thought Russell and Hamilton had not great games. A ton of giveaways from both. Yes, Russell scored the winner, but most of that was Johnny.
Sometimes you win games you're not supposed to. I'll take 6 in a row.
