He was a dictionary definition super-pest tonight. It's been forever since hwe've had a guy like that. One small critique only: he should have been more ready for Beiksa's cowardly attack. He needs to know who is out there and who is likely to try what.
I told my seat mate what was likely going to happen on that shift and damned if it didn't.
On the plus side, he's not hurt and will now be looking for No 3 all game 4. Beiksa better do the chin strap up pretty tight cause the train will be rolling in toward him all game.
Thank you Ferland, for reintroducing hitting to the Flames forecheck. There are more hits across the board because of what he does. Bouma would bring a second tip to the spear!!
Was never a big believer in Ferland, didn't get the hype, didn't think much of him as a prospect. When he was sent back to junior as an overager I pretty much wrote him off.
What a player he is now. His speed continues to impress, his hard and hits mean. Brings a passion you want to have in a guy that size. Has a dimension that few guys have.
If Bouma is back soon it will be a killer back-to-back shift for the opposing team.
To add to that, I think this inspires Bouma to turn his game up a few notches.

#Flames Michael Ferland: "My mom doesn’t want me hitting those two guys, but it’s my job.” What did your mom say? “Leave the Sedins alone."

#Flames Michael Ferland’s mom told him not to hit the Sedins.
“She told me, 'Leave the Sedins alone.' She loves them,” he said.
