Impressive win. Flames didn't give up too much. Rittich was there the few times that they did. Bruins capitalized on a couple of mistakes, but that's a solid defensive effort.
Hopefully the new additions settle in more. It isn't like Gus has had much (if any) time practicing the PP. Andersson should have been out for PP2, or even Brodie, as I just don't think Hanifin is getting the job done there.
Most of all... the Flames played a full 60 minutes. Didn't take their foot off the gas. Even when the Bruins were pressing and got the Flames hemmed-in the defensive zone, they kept their composure. This is how a winning team plays.
