Boy oh boy that was great! Was impressed by everyone on the team almost the entire series. It starts in net and the decision to start Cambot was obviously the right one. Calm and cool in net. No weak goals. Some highlight saves when needed. What a season he's having and hopefully for a while longer. Feels so damn good to not worry with time left in the game and the Jets pressing. Talbot was a brick wall from start to finish.
I'm also sorry for every doubting Bennett and wanting to trade him. As other have said, playoff Bennett is absolutely a
thing . He might leave you wanting more in the regular season, but he's proven time and time again he saves it for when it matters. Lock him up longterm please and thank you!
Loved how the top 3 lines came in waves. Ever since the Detroit teams used to come in waves at you during the 2000s, I've always dreamed of having a Flames team being able to do the same. It feels like a 1-2-3 punch. Nice to see.
The D has looked great too. The Flames absolutely MUST find a way to keep Brodie. I think it's more then obvious that the GG years were the outliers and not his norm. Brodie was trending upwards before those years and he's picked up where he left off once GG left. He can skate against anybody in the league and is so dynamic when he's on. His skillset will keep him playing well into his late 30s. Flames will regret losing him, so please BT find a way to keep him!
The list goes on of players that stepped up. It's going to get a lot harder next series but I am cautiously optimistic the Flames can play any style regardless of the opponent.
