- He dove in overtime and cost his team. He was so upset when the Flames scored because he thought he was fouled.
- Huberdeau was playing physical and aggressive. I loved it. He had some boneheaded mistakes/passes, but it was super refreshing to see his drive and I hope he keeps it up.
- Pelletier is an NHL man. He was great all over, and was trusted to be on PP2
- Duehr is reliable and I like what he brings. Surely Sutter trusts them now over some of those plug veterans.
- Anderson played a great game and holy I loved the pass back to Vladar with authority in OT. That play should be used more to keep possession.
- Didn't like the standing ovation for johnny during the video.
- No peanuts at the dome is a travesty.
- This team immediately has a different make up when Tanev is out. If a coach could wave a magic want and create a perfect d-man, it would be Tanev. Beak, missing teeth and flow included.
- The black Blasty is a legitimately awesome jersey.

agree with the bulk of this post
doubling down on your Huberdeau observations- whether obvious on TV or not, he brought intensity last night, more than I've seen, yes he had some braincramps still
the Johnny thing- I think slight disagree. the boos were well earned and well done, but the standing ovation (which was likely spread equal parts between the booers and the non booers I also get- the guy was a fantastic Flame, worth the price of admission many nights when there wasn't much else). I can get why people didn't cheer him on, but get those who did
