I'm fairly surprised that nobody seems to have noticed that Jarry played a very good game. Monahan's goal was a fluke off the defender's skate and there were a lot of shots through traffic and some skilled tips too. Not to mention a breakaway save on Jankowski that was pretty impressive. Game could have gone either way tonight.
-Tkachuk is just great... I'm so happy he's on this team
-The Penguins are such a good team... they don't make very many mistakes and they play the game incredibly fast. The Flames tried to make long passes for a while in the third period and the Pens D just wouldn't let them do it. Very impressive.
-Gaudreau was the best skater on the ice by a mile
-Smith was excellent... it has taken some time but I am a genuine fan of the guy now. Having a true starting goalie is just different than guys like Hiller and Elliot, even when they're hot
-Hamonic works his tail off every game... he's not the best D on the team but I love the honest effort night in, night out
-This was Lazar's best game in my opinion... I am not a fan at all but I think he actually showed some skill tonight to go along with his admittedly consistent hustle
-Bennett-Jankowski are showing promise... they just need a bounce or something and it looks like they could make a big difference with this team
GO FLAMES GO
edit: Oh yeah... worth mentioning that Kulak looks like a good defenceman. His skating is high level and when he plays with confidence you can see that he's a smart player. Really good development.
