Solid win after a 7 game trip. Usually one takes the visitor in these scenarios. Chicago is pretty bad. It’s even better to see the flames buck the trend and put this one to bed.

Lewis is such a reliable player. I even liked him in wpg last year. He just does his job effectively. That lucic play where he let the puck cross the lime without touching it really personifies darryls approach. What a difference it is that this team can pot empty netters Oliver sudden. They have really brought good conditioning to the table this year. This momentum they have built will be tested on Saturday but I like our chances. I think the team mentality has really become a strength as compared to years past.

Oliver kyllington is Oliver sudden blossoming into our most important player I’d argue. His ability to create from the back end and keep plays alive is so crucial for this group. As some have stated that his acceleration and change of direction abilities are already world class. He has come a long way. I cringe to think what this dcorps would do on break outs without him. Thankfully we don’t have to.

But Tanev doesn’t get enough credit. That guy is rock solid. Recall Quinn Hughes cashing that big new contract. I’d say the majority of his nice counting stats were a result of a beebop and rocksteady partner. Tanev is so good defensively and transitionally it’s scary.
What a great free agent signing. He is what harmonic was supposed to be. Markstrom knows how valuable Tanev is with his homage to Tanev in his goalie mask.
It doesn’t even matter that he doesn’t score in the counting stat Columns, he makes life miserable for opposing offensive forays. He was so good even during last years misery of a season.

Gudbranson and Zadorov bring a lot of beef. It’s what’s for dinner in Calgary Apparently. Ranchers choice!
