That was 57 minutes of rock solid hockey from the Flames. I take 3 minutes and give that to MTL for their goal.
What impressed me was Sutter all over the guys after the MTL goal. Not allowing them to sulk and revert to timid shrews. That's the difference right there between a great coach and a just okay coach. That's it, that's all. That is all a coach needs to do. Pull their heads out their arses moment to moment.
Honestly, the next test now is to keep these players doing this for 29+ more games. They need to keep this going. Afterall, that's THE problem.
