This is the exact way this losing streak would end IMO; a gritty, ugly win where they do just enough to claw out a win. Anyone who thought these guys would Globe-Trotter a game to an easy win after the abysmal hockey they have been playing, THAT would have been a miracle. There was some relief and joy on that bench and all the guys on the ice with Rittich at the end.
Do they have work to do to improve their team game? Of course they do! Their game was not going to turn on a dime and they'd be flying out there. Do I want to see them get to that point? No doubt. Keep working hard and make your own luck out there boys. I'm damn happy they won. Build on this one.
Go Flames Go!
