But that isn’t what I was saying. Who was is it that Ben stared down during game 2 or 3? Not saying that won them the series by any means, but I don’t know. Just the style of hockey he plays, it is similar to Iggy.
The flames with Iggy instead of Johnny also beat the stars, imo.

I’m still skeptical. Benn and Gaudreau both had 2 goals and 2 assists in the series and Iggy as good as he was, helped the Flames reach the second round once over the course of 16 years.
I just don’t think superstar wingers make as much of a difference as #1 centers or #1 defensemen in the playoffs. Getzlaf, Mackinnon and Heiskanen were probably the biggest reasons the Flames lost their last 4 playoff series.
