From the Athletic this morning ...

Of the teams I saw in the qualifying round, the Flames were the most talkative group by a decent margin. The chirps were constant. There was no clearance on the penalty kill, no hit, no blocked shot that went by without the bench exploding and yelling and carrying on. In terms of generating or mimicking that playoff intensity and energy as an isolated group in an empty arena, Calgary stands out to me as the club that has that phase of the game down pat off the hop.

That certainly speaks to the closeness of the group.
