I'm a little concerned at what they're generating offensively, five on five, but you have to like how little they give up.
Put up that kind of system in front of a solid goaltender and things tend to go well.

I'm not sure we'll find another game with only 2 high danger chances against 5v5. That's partially due to the fact that there was only 45 minutes of 5v5 time, but that's still amazing.
To put that in perspective, last year the Flames were in the top ten for high danger chances against with only about 10 per 60 minutes. Part of that may be the Canucks were playing their 3rd game in 4 nights with no preseason and only 6 days of camp, but still very good.
