It's a surprise after how they looked early in the season, but I've got to say that the players and the coaching staff have put something impressive together here. When they went down 3-2, I felt myself move to the edge of my seat believing they would make a push and even when the Backlund goal was called back I had a lot of hope. Contrast that with last year when they would get down 1-0 early and it felt like the game was over.
They are winning me over for sure. Hopefully they can keep it up!

When it comes to the Flames, I fear stretches in the schedule against bubble teams and bottom feeders much more than these "prove it" games.
That's where this team will break your heart.
