On the other hand, Brodie leading yet again with 28+

Russell and Wideman both played quite a bit of PP, so if the top 4 are playing all the PP and most of the even strength minutes there's not much left. I'll call out Smid and Englland if they look terrible or scre up, but they were ok, which is all you can ask of your 5/6 guys. They were fine.

Russell, actually played the most minutes with 29 - just 0:30 more than Brodie.

I'm loving this hockey team.

Thanks Eeyore

Meaning that even members of the opposite team want to play with them?

Its the truth, Glencross/Monahan/Hudler were know where near to what the "second unit" was contributing.

Kudos to Habs fans, a great game, and atmosphere tonight.

Canucks, Oilers, and Leafs fans could learn a lot

Surrounded by engaged, fun, knowledgeable Habs fans, that know how to enjoy a hockey game. No obnoxious crap, just hockey fans.

I love the never give up attitude but my heart will always be with the 04 Flames. Talk about a group of warriors.

Granlund would work, too.

argg why isnt the johnny shot attempt on the on highlight reel on the flames site?

I wanted a second look from a better angle.

[calgarywinning]

What a game! Electrifying.

The Flames really showed up and delivered on all fronts.

Most exciting player of the night was Gaudreau with some amazing passes and plays.

Glencross continues to not play his game and seems lost out there and not playing with the team. Very frustrating.

Haven't cheered so much in a while.

In preseason, a comment was made on here that perhaps Johnny couldn't showcase his talent as his AHL teammates never expected a pass or couldn't think as quickly as he could. I sometimes feel that his NHL teammates struggle with this too. The spin-O-Rama pass to Byron was highlight real material. Byron didn't know it was coming.

[Arya Stark]

Good game all around and it somehow feels like a win. Only complaint is how Hartley kept going back to Monahan Hudler and Glencross as the first pp unit. Thiught the second pp unit earned a few more pp minutes.

That early 5 on 3 and ensuing pp could have changed things up. I don't see a scenario where you can leave Gaudreau on the bench in a 5 on 3 especially when he wasn't on the ice for the 5 on 4 pp so he was fresh.

Gaudreau had his best game of his NHL career. Love watching this kid skate with the puck.

I know! I heard he hates young players and stuff too!

I hate when whenever someone has a comment on the game, some stupid comment like this appears.

Disagreeing with Hartley's decisions for the PP does not mean any of us hate the guy or don't think he's doing a fantastic job with what he has.

[djsFlames]

I'm watching the pvr... my goodness is Gaudreau magnificent.

[Cleveland Steam Whistle]

What an entertaining hockey game. I think the team just continues to improve. The young guys are slowly getting better every night. I think the last two games Hiller has very slowly started to open up a gap on him and Ramo, I think you'd need to go back to 4 seasons ago Kipper to the last time I felt this good when shots are hitting the net.

Flames need to take more shots sonnet in the plays. I actually thought there was way too much passing looking for the perfect shot, which actually ended up in shots from worse angles.

But all in all, what a fun team to watch improve.

[Cleveland Steam Whistle]

Nope, if Arya a Stark was on the team she'd never get any PP time cause Hartley hates the young's, just accept it man ok.

Apparently Rene Bourque had some kind words about Johnny, not sure what was said, just heard about it on the radio.

[shogged]

i went to the young stars tournament to watch gaudreau, and tonight felt like those games where you were just on the edge of your seat everytime he touched the puck. so fun to watch when he plays like that.
