Flames have broken through and are contenders in my view. This was a playoff type game against a top team and Cup champions.

Johnny with the hat trick and Backlund with a good goal. The Flames have the top good players and can get it done.

Shots on goal were pretty even 32-31 in favor of the Flames, otherwise all other stats were quite even other than the special teams as the Flames capitalized on 5 pp chances with a goal. So that was probably the difference in the game,TB playing shorthanded, Flames forced them into penalties.

Good defining win!
