Is Tkachuk trying to motivate himself with these fights? Didn't seem like it was quite neccessary as a team move, given the timing and opponent he dropped them with.
Looked like a solid game, and always good to be on the right side of one goal games.
With b2b game 2 and 3, if the Flames can manage another good performance and a win game 2, it will cause that much extra scramble from the Stars to take chances in game 3.
