Flames have given up 18 goals against in the last 9 games - they have really tightened it up defensively. And just in time for the playoffs.
I thought Brodie had a really good game. And Fantenberg-Andersson are becoming a solid (second) second-pairing. And Giordano was in full God-mode last night.
Last year the D had 40G-106A-146P. This year they are already at 42-140-182. The line in the sand for playoff teams is 150 points from the D - almost all the teams that hit 150 make it, and most of the teams that don't hit 150 don't.
Oh, and if you're interested, the Oilers are at 28-99-127
