And again, the coaches cannot be faulted for a number of decisions made last game which were clearly effective.

Brouwer did have a good game. The Flames locked it down in the 3rd, and Brouwer did have a PP assist (on PP unit 2) and a 5v5 goal after he was put on that PP in the 2nd period. Those things did happen. If they were directly related to each other, then Gully is a player whisperer and one hell of a coach.
I'm taking more issue with Stone performing well in a position, and then not getting the opportunity again.
