Great game. This is probably the first game this season where we haven't seen the Flames sit back after getting the lead. Yes, Pittsburgh pushed back, but the had to work for their space all games. I hope they keep this up.
I hope Monahan can improve his skating next year. He's lack the explosive acceleration he needs and is behind the play way to often in the offensive zone as a result. In many ways reminds me of how Backlund's skating regressed after a couple years in the league as he got heavier and stronger before eventually getting it back.
