Very happy with the result.
A bit concerned about the shabby play here and there (and I didn't see the first 3 minutes!). At one point the Avs were running the Flames absolutely ragged and hemming them in until someone took a penalty and the Flames PK took over. Looked both before and after like a tire fire.
The PP seems to be trying two things: to play faster and to think less. But they still seem to be overthinking and getting ahead of the play too often. And for gosh sakes - will *someone* just stop and stand 5 feet in front of the net? They'd have score numerous times, but they keep trying the cross-seam pass when there's traffic in the way.
Three days of practice ought to clean that up.
And thanks to Bill Peters - a REAL coach it seems!! (Banish the thoughts of GG and no timeouts, no line changes or in-game flexibility.) Love Peters' trust of the young guys in ALL situations - he gives them the best chance to succeed that way and that is excellent!!
Johnny gets one after a bit of a tough game for him. I'm sure he's pretty pleased too.
