Bennett threw couple of big hits last night. It was so refreshing to see Flames forward finishing checks (thanks to Bennett and Hathaway)
Our 4th line played awesome as well, winning battles down low and cycling the puck, etc

Brodie has struggled in the last two seasons and deserved all the criticism people tossed his way.
But this year?
4th on the team in possession stats, and third on the team in shot attempts allowed per 60 minutes.
Counting stats? 3rd in +/-, 6th in scoring, 2nd in ice time.
Not sure how much more this guy needs to do to prove a bounce back in 5 games (sample size warning of course)
