Wow what an exciting game! Best 8-5 win ever! Sharks vs Flames games are always my favourite Flames' games of the season. This one didn't disappoint! The hate runs deep between these 2 teams this season. Great to see.
What can you say about Johnny Gaudreau. He provides such a turbocharge to the offence of the team. A career night with 5 points. When he signed his deal I knew it was going to be great value. But I almost feel bad for the guy. Even at 6.75/yr, he's still well underpaid. He's playing like a $10M guy right now.
Sean Monahan with 5 assist tonight! Where did that come from?
3M line needs to stick together for a bit. Great comeback game by Frolik, after some drama earlier on. The guy can contribute and wants to win.
The Flames D is so beautiful to watch on the transition. It's seamless, effortless and quick. The team is lucky to have a weapon like that on the backend. I don't think there's many teams in the entire league whose #1-8 D across the board can move the puck like the Flames. Still blown my mind we've had 3 rookies on the bottom pair, and they are all amazing to watch.
Sam Bennett...he hits, he fights, he chirps. He gets screwed over on goal calls more then any player I've ever seen. But he still finds ways to contribute all over the ice. Fun player to watch.
And lastly, it must have felt gooooood for James Neal to finally pot one
. I absolutely LOVED the cheer he got. Goosebumps! That had to feel good, and good on the fans for acknowledging it. Here's hoping he starts to get a few more.
