Really solid game from the Flames last night, they gave the Stars nothing. Lots of concern in here that the Flames, and specifically the top line, generated very little, but Dallas generated less because they were focused entirely on clogging things up in their own end. They are going to have to open it up if they want to score at all, and when they do, the Flames' offense will open up too. Not worried in the slightest.
I think, you want to establish defense and physicality, early in a series, and the Flames did that last night.
