And, caveat - washington was icing their backup goalie
And caveat - the PP was not good
And caveat - the win required a 0.970 save percentage by Smith
And caveat - all the scoring was generated by the first line
And caveat - the fourth line still averaged 10 minutes of ice time
So, yeah...green shoots. But lol if you're getting excited.

Grubauer played a great game, not to mention the Flames hit 3 posts.
The power play had lots of good looks for their limited opportunities. Unlucky to not get one.
Single game save percentage? You can’t be serious with this stuff?
Johnny did Johnny things but Bennett, Brouwer, and the 3M line all had god chances. Every team relies on their best player to create offense.
10 minutes for the 4th line? Since when is this an issue? This is commonplace in the NHL especially considering players on our 4th line are also penalty killers.
Grasping at straws here. What I don’t understand is why so many posters want to roll the dice on a new coach and having the team learn a new system in the middle of the season. That alone would probably sink our season. Our odds are much better to ride it out with GG and see if we can get back to being a dominant team. Last night was a step towards that.
If you can’t stand how Gulutzan coaches that’s fine, but even then replacing him in the off season is a much better idea than doing it now.
