Agreed. Aside from that lone rush he isn't looking any more effective than most nights.

that's 40 good minutes.. Lets see that good final 20.

A really good forechecker, and not just because of hitting. Though sometimes I think they just say “have the puck Mr. Lucic, sir”.

Okay, I'm a fan of Flames hockey again.

[ComixZone]

C’mon NHL stat guys. Update Leivo’s 2nd goal and give the apples to Doc and Benny.

[JohnnyB]

Well, Treliving's gotta be feeling pretty happy and relieved with this change.

[badradio]

Habs have had next to nothing offensively... combine that with Markstrom and you are going to win games.

[activeStick]

It feels strange watching this brand of the Flames. Quick exits out of their zone, fast transitions and very north-south.

Markstrom/Rittich for the Jennings.

Book it.

The core forwards have definitely been the weakest tonight, but you can see more effort out of the entire team. Sutter will get them playing the right way soon enough. Going to take some time to play the exact way Darryl wants, but the fact he won't be completely overhauling the system will help the team adjust faster.

The Flames are playing FAAAAAAAAST.

Man I missed Darryl <3

[motorcrosser]

I might have to get a bread jersey. Because he pays like an a-hole and it's great.

[skcli]

The passes are crisp, forechecks are effective. Good first 40 minutes!

I always thought it was just me

Johnny Mony backs about to be trade listed

[bigrangy]

I am definitely going to wait a couple of games before getting ahead of myself and thinking that the switch has been flipped, cause Montreal is pretty tired.

But the team looks real solid!

[JohnnyB]

I think this is the first game in quite a while where I would say the Flames look like a tough team to play against. They look like frustrating and tiring opponents.

[fire_starter]

Nice to have a coach again who can make those in game adjustments
