No passengers once again tonight, and they moved the puck way faster. Flames played a gritty, hard-working but also fast and skilled game tonight. This is how the Flames can play.
They have the skill to compete with any team in the NHL. They also have the toughness to compete with any team in the NHL.
I do think their compete level is WAY higher than it has been for most of the season, and they are moving the puck faster than they have been all season it seems as well.
Would have been easy to 'roll over and die' with Giordano and Hamonic out of the line-up, but instead they rolled up their sleeves and they seem intent on showing us what they are made up of.
Also, screw Kane. I am so glad that he isn't a Flame. Can't stand that puke.
