Thanks, Bingo.
You mentioned that the Flames and Leafs split HDSCs? Does that mean they each had 11? How many of TML's were ES?
Also, I was thinking about the powerplay as I was watching last night. While the Flames had a couple good looks and did score a goal there were also plenty of ugly, frustrating plays with the man advantage. There were occasions last night where the powerplay looked very much like it did last year. With the wholesale turnover in coaches and a deliberate emphasis on the powerplay I think this shows that last year's problems probably had more to do with what players were doing, and less to do with what coaches were coaching. The hope is that this group of coaches can break the bad habits or nervous energy(?) of players, who still don't look fast enough or mobile enough on the powerplay.
