Flames have played well against good teams this season too. They are currently 11th overall and here's how they done against the top 10:
2. St. Louis (5-2 L / 7-4 W) 1-1-0
4. Winnipeg (6-3 W) 1-0-0
6. Los Angeles (4-3 OTW) 1-0-0
8. New Jersey (5-4 SOW) 1-0-0
9. Pittburgh (2-1 OTW) 1-0-0
10. Nashville (3-2 SOW) 1-0-0
Overall 6-1-0 against the top teams 1/4 through the season.
My favorite part of the team this season is that there are three solid lines that I enjoy watching play. There is enough skill to go around the forward group that the majority of the game we get to watch talented players do more than just dump it in and battle for scramble plays. The Bennett-Jankowski-Jagr line is one of the better lines to watch cycle that I have seen this year on any team.
Also, Mike Smith makes clutch saves and for that he is awesome.
