That was a wonderfully boring game, it's been a while since the Flames could actually go into cruise control, but they earned that right with the absolutely relentless forecheck in the first two periods.
I can probably count Arizona's clean breakouts from tonight on one hand, all because the forecheck was putting so much pressure on them. Sticks and bodies in lanes kept the play going towards Raanta's net.
Next game is another big test and I expect the Flames to put on a show!
