Besides the all important 2 points that game may have also done us a favor for over there in the "trades" string. Not just here, but in the mainstream NHL press there is a ton of TO has offense/Calgary has defense trade talk.
I thought that game showed TO and their fans that as a matter of fact Calgary does have 6 good defensemen. TO simply never really got lengthy cycles going. All 6 of our guys were quick on pucks and the breakouts were pretty good. That game had to up Calgary's trade values a bit.
Still no authority but FWIW Nylander looked pretty good out there and Kapenan was "okay". You get what you pay for.
