This Calgary Flames team continues to impress.
What more can you say about Dustin Wolf? Kid tracks the puck so well. Super fun watching him in his crease when the Flames are on the PK, seeing his tracking and quickness side to side. No more crying about nothing good ever happening to the Flames. Getting Wolf with the LAST PICK of the draft is pretty darn good...
Things have turned around so much for Huberdeau and he deserves all the credit. Watching him on that PP last night as he was doing his spin, I knew it was going in. In years past, I 100% would have figured it would be stopped or he'd miss wide or high. This guy might lead the Flames in goals scored at the end of the regular season and break his own personal best in this stat. What the hell is that?!
LOVE Coronato's game. Ever-humble but snipes like nobody's business. I agree with those who are suggesting the Flames better be locking him up soon, and I've been suggesting the Flames do this the moment their prospects appear to be real for years ever since the Sens did it with their group and the Flames lost Chucky and Johnny. They won't all work out, but I have a feeling Coronato at least will...
Lastly, so many good examples last night of the fantastic job the Flames coaching staff has done this season. Bahl spoke to it in his post game interview speaking to how they got back to their system of closing gaps in the neutral zone right away and pressuring the attacker after the 1st period and Dan Lambert gave props to the players for being willing to play the style the coaching staff is preaching. Yes, LA was tired from a back to back, but you could see how well the Flames system limited any and almost all dangerous chances starting about midway in the 2nd and pretty much all the 3rd. They have this team knocking on the damn wild card door lol. Bravo, and keep it up!
