Gutsy win by the team. Markstrom is a beast. If he continues his trend of 2/3 wins are shutouts I'll take it! Calm cool and collected in net. Great to hear about how awesome of a teammate he is too. Players love going to battle for guys like that.

Weber is still a beast. Literally every single person in the hockey world proclaimed the Habs the big losers in that trade. Years later and Weber is still a solid #1D, the captain of the team and still possess the most feared shot in the league. Meanwhile Subban is trending down every year and looks like a buyout candidate with each passing season. Nobody makes me cringe more he shoots from the point them him. I wish so bad the Flames had a weapon like that on D.

Flames also lucked out with the Scotiabank logos on their helmets. If it wasn't a corporate logo I'd actually like it as a complimentary graphic on the helmet. Looks sleak AF.

I thought the score flattered both teams. Both sides had a ton of missed open nets and shots from the slot that missed. Could have easily been a 10 goal game if it wasn't for the goaltenders. Both goalies made a bunch of beauty saves for their teams.

We'll see if the team that showed up after the closed door meeting is the team we see going forward or if they continue their Jekyll/Hyde performance. Could very well revert back but for now I'll enjoy the gutsy win!
