What a win! I don't EVER want to witness a Flames GM going after a bargain bin coach as long as I live. They should immediately be reprimanded if they even attempt to do so. Coaching MATTERS as proven once again on the last game of a heavy road trip.
Absolutely love how well Gaudreau fits into Sutter's system. Absolute perfect fit. Maybe his most beautiful snipe in a Flames jersey with his goal in the 1st. Shades of his Boston College days. With each passing game that Johnny plays at a high level, the urgency for hi to re-sign increases. Please BT, make it happen sooner than later.
Obviously Markstrom the story of the game. Absolutely clutch from beginning to end. The paddle save in the 1st. 2 on 1 against Guentzel. The 4 min PP. Dude earned his paycheck and looks like he's just getting warmed up. Still early in the season, but wow. What a bounce back thus far. 1.52 GAA and a .952 s%. The Flames looked tired at some points, but Markstrom allowed them to bend but not break until they were able to put it away.
Solid game by Stone. Absolutely no reason to see Zadarov in the lineup with Stone able to fit in like that if someone else is out. Good game by him once again.
Nothing but praise for this team after this road trip. Leaped over the Oilers into 1st place in the division. 1st in the conference. 3rd overall.
Sutter is KING!!!
