Two complete games in a row! Where have these guys been all season??
I honestly thought they were gonna blow it in the 2nd period when it looked like the Sharks were taking over. But full marks to the Flames for pushing back and keeping their foot on the gas for the remainder of the game.
No passengers tonight. Rittich was good, the top line was good, Looch with a terrific game, and the PP is finally starting to look dangerous. No idea what the coaching staff did to turn this around, but it looks like it's working so far.
If the team can maintain this kind of effort on a consistent basis for the rest of the season, I'd say they're looking good for the playoffs and 1st in the division. Let's hope they can string a few more wins together and finally put some distance between them and the bubble teams.
