Really good game against a good team that is currently on fire. Flames were absolutely their equals in that game - missed nets from Toffoli, Mangiapane, and Dube were the difference. On to the next game against another red hot team.
Playing well the last few games and not getting the results - they are going to go on a heater when they break out.
I thought that was Ruzicka's best game as a Flame, by magnitudes. I have never really seen a legit NHLer in him until last night.
Toffoli has been among the best forwards, year to date. Mangiapane is colder than February in Winnipeg.
Vladar was very solid, I can't remember the last time I was this confident with a backup in net.
I am not at all worried about this team - I think they are going to build through the season and be a nightmare for other teams in the playoffs.
