I thought Hamilton had a great game. In spite of a bit of sluggishness on the lucky bounce that was the tying goal. Seems like he's been stepping up and pinching more, picking off passes and playing more physical. And getting involved offensively. Much like.
Actually I've noticed all of our D stepping up more at the blue line and in the neutral zone. Flames play far more effectively when they do this IMO.
Wotherspoon has been pretty good, but still gets burned wide sometimes and I think has some confidence issues with the puck. That'll come. I wasn't high on him before the call up but he's performed admirably.
Kevin and Nak, great bottom pairing. Solid both ends of the ice and most importantly both can skate.
Good effort tonight all around! Monahan had a great game as well as obviously Gaudreau. He seemed like he had more snarl than usual.
Happy to see Backlund playing well. He's making a difference out there night after night.
