Shaky first against a determined Detroit team who played to the best of their ability, but Flames acquitted themselves well. Smith was solid overall, which is an encouraging sign. They gave up way too many odd-man chances and got caught on the wrong side when on defence and were it against a better team they would have gotten burned.
Johnny Hockey is all world right now, amazing to watch every game. good that they got the job done, happy that Brodie scored in front of a home crowd. need a tighter defensive effort against the bruins.
