What a fun game that was. Always worried about facing the 0ilers these days, but a great time for everyone to show up. Loved the goaltending performance and great games by Coleman, Hanifin and Huberdeau. Angry Huberdeau is awesome.

This game was probably the first time it really hit me how much we are going to miss Hanifin if/when he's traded. With a season like he's having, I don't know how you can let a guy like that go. Who wouldn't want a top pairing guy like him on the backend? He probably has a decade or more of playing at this level. Of all the UFAs who will depart, he will by far be the one we miss the most.

But at the same time, I don't think the Flames have ever had a pending UFA playing like this who can garner the return he will. After seeing the return for Lindholm, the Flames have such an amazing opportunity to make that 2 significant returns for both players that can bring this retool to fruition. It will be exciting, but also very sad, to see him go.
