The Flames aren't the fastest team in the league, obviously. But you don't have to be, in order to play fast. Tonight they played fast. And it was so much better to watch.
Also, Huska looks like a lot better coach when they play like that. Funny how that works.

Yeah something was different about their approach tonight and it was very apparent out there.
Might be the first time I found their playing style entertaining in spite of the score, and it was mostly due to pace. I think that lent itself to more battles along the boards won as well.
It's crazy how much more competent a team can look just by playing a bit faster and hitting more of their passes than not.
