Keeping Lucic engaged as well is important. Just because he isn't producing pts its all the other little things he does seen and unseen that matter.
We've proven it and needed to have the preliminary series win to remind them .
Its a huge step up however and there is no denying that. Were healthy!!! We have everything we need in the bubble....the late adds on Defence by Tre are huge.
Man the ascension of play by Dube , Eat Bread , Bennett and Andersson makes this team interesting .
What I like most is how no one expects anything great from us....were underdogs again and I love being looked past like that.
Its like back when the Devils were winning cups....you forgot about them until they were winning again and again and then they had 3 cups before you knew it.
I hope this is a new tradition of winning and making thr playoffs yearly at the very least. Just play hard Flames and leave no regrets and you might surprise yourselves and everyone else in the process.
Go Flames Go

Yeah, have to say now in retrospect that the deadline pickups on D were brilliant. Especially with hamonic opting out and not wanting to expose Valimaki to expansion.
If they bring their game from gm 1, 3 and 4 they should be able to keep up with whichever opponent they draw. That was effective, hard hitting playoff hockey and a recipe for success. Even if it's not quite enough you're probably still coming out of it happy with the performance.
