No doubt we will see a far more fiery Checkers squad tonight. Roy and the D had better be ready.

I thought Roy did such a good job tracking the puck last game. I think if the Heat can give him another lead like last night he should be able to have a calm 60 minutes.

O'Brien may have been below standard on the Flames blueline, but the guy has been a stud so far for the Heat. Having him, Wotherspoon, Billins, and Smith really helps keep the pucks moving onto forwards sticks on the breakout. Heck, Smith and OB will break right into the O-zone on their own.

Watch for Reinhart's strength tonight, that's been the improvement that's given him the most success this season. He's tenacious on the forecheck and wins battles.

It would be nice to see Hanowski draw back into the line up, as Gillies did little to nothing outside of "give the bench energy" last night.
