From a hockey standpoint, the Flames' skaters were pretty darn good. Like the Vegas game, this one is just hard to analyze after the fact. Name a line that had a bad night. Not the fourth (especially Lazar and Stajan). The first line was fine - they had plenty of chances. The second line was good considering their assignment. People were praising Brouwer all night so not the third, aside from Bennett taking a penalty right off the bat. The D did a credible job, aside from, IMO Stone and Kulak, who were trapped a few times.
The PK did well enough - a garbage goal went in, but they killed an almost 2 minute 5 on 3. The PP actually scored and looked pretty good.

Yeah I just mean in general when things get tough, who is the player that leads the team. Part of that is on the coaches too. My thoughts on last nights game are pretty well documented. Smith makes a few saves and we are happy today
