Really? They scored 5 goals, dude. Markstrom was huge, no question. But they don't win that game if they don't score all those goals.
That was a hard fought game against a very good hockey team. Leafs were the better team in the 1st. Flames took over in the 2nd and part of the 3rd. Leafs pushed back hard late in the 3rd when the Flames were absolutely gassed, but Markstrom and the Flames' D held the fort.
This was another big statement game proving that the Flames can hang with the big boys. If they can keep putting in these kinds of efforts for the remainder of the season, this team is gonna be a VERY tough out in the post season.
