Thought the Flames played well and the score flattered the Canes a bit. Definitely not their best game but far from bad. They didn’t bear down enough and bury their chances. No reason to panic. It was a hell of a streak and they’ve put themselves in a good position now. Can’t win them all.
Janko killed them tonight. He killed their momentum in the first period with that dumb penalty and his turnover and subsequent cheating led directly to the first goal, and the penalty which came as a result that the second goal was allowed on. If I’m Treliving he’s on his way to Stockton tonight. That’s at least one goal and arguably two (though Rittich shares the blame as that was weak) that you could pin on Janko.
Gio and Hamonic struggled tonight. Andersson and Brodie were great.
And one last question: will Backlund ever score again? Poor guy is so snake bitten right now.
