If we won out, it would give us a pretty good shot, since we have 2 games vs the ducks and one more against the Sharks.

They could also watch how to not play defense from watching Burns play defense.

No worries, I had actually looked it up earlier today cause I couldn't remember the story. Had it handy

Is a cool story, I like when players get nicknames that come naturally and actually mean something rather than just adding a y to a guys name

A soft shot that gets through > a booming shot that misses or gets blocked. It doesn't matter how hard the shot is if the goalie can't see the puck or the puck goes somewhere the goalie doesn't expect.

Sharks are pressing as expected, but the Flames are doing a great job defensively in this period. And Elliott is playing great as usual.

playing with a lead in the 3rd has been one of their strengths this season. Pretty impressive how they clog it up when the other team needs a goal.

That shot Couture took to the face is hard to watch.

Burns shot from the point is always pretty scary.

You know what I like about Burns? He isn't dirty, he doesn't whine a bunch, he's a nice guy but you know not to screw with him. He could play on my team any day.

Ahead 4-1 and Elliott makes a great save and dives out to make sure the Sharks don't get a chance. Awesome!

Is any Flame working harder than Elliott tonight? He and Bennett are setting the tone.

Burns has played 22 minutes so far. Feels like 40.
