Gallant has those guys running through a wall. Classic case of the whole is more than the sum of its parts.
And the fans there go crazy. Great atmosphere when I was there and they beat the Blues in OT. Looks at the scenes in the crowd tonight after the goal, no regular season Flames game comes close to the scenes of people hugging each other in the stands, unless it’s clinching the playoffs. The cynical side may say that the fall in a few years may hit harder as a result of this early phenomenal success, but they are full value for the work they put in shift after shift after shift.
If this was the league giving the GTA a second team and the Guelph Mounties doing this, there would daily TSN and Sportsnet updates on the historic run. It truly is remarkable. Tied for 2nd in the league now after 33 games.
Good for Vegas and Engellend. Shame they are in the Flames division and you cant root for them more.
As for Boeser, appear the flowers Randorf sent along with the tear stained hand written sympathy note seemed to willed him back into game action.
