A Flames goalie hasn’t won us a game single-handedly like that since Kipper in...2006?

Thoughts:

- Talbot was clutch.
- Bennett, Lucic, Dube, Backlund and Ryan were our best forwards. Mangiapane has a solid 3rd.
- Brodie and Hanifin were our best defencemen
- Giordano made some “classic Gio” plays on the final PK tonight, I hope that’s momentum building for him
- Gaudreau is just a walking facepalm at this point

I thought Ward made some smart moves (incl. Mang and Ryan with Monahan at the end of the game).

I know Monahan is deservedly taking #%^* right now, but I still have time for him because I see him trying to play outside of his comfort zone. It’s not working, but he’s really trying.

Our “best” players need to be a lot better going forward. We also got a good amount of puck luck tonight in the defensive zone.
