They came from behind for the win.
They had to overcome some typically awful calls from the zebras.
They didn't get any puck luck and managed a win.
Lot's to build on. This year this teams is NOT going to get the calls (because the NHL is a joke it seems), it doesn't seem like puck luck is on their side either. So these are the wins they have to get to build confidence. Confidence is by far the biggest thing this team needs.
So, score aside, circumstances aside and opponent aside, it's a pretty big win to build on.

Good points. They've basically willed the last two games in their favour despite not getting a lot of bounces in either of them. They could've sulked over Johnny or the late 2nd period fluke goal against but kept composed. And they came from behind last night to win, which might be a first this season (unless they did that in the Buffalo win? I can't remember). Looked more like Bob's Flames but with fewer breakdowns while more aggressive in the neutral zone and at the blue line.
