Was at the game, it was super nice and kind of exciting to watch Huberdeau's celebration. Everyone gets in a rut. Was so cool people gave him a standing ovation and cheered when the goal was announced and he was on the big screen.
Flames were excellent.

Hopefully the clip of his beaming on the bench afterwards gets as much attention as the other clip.
I literally felt a little teary seeing it. As much as I have been down on him, I hated seeing him suffer, so it was nice to see him that happy.

Interviews post game with Lindholm and Dube - it’s clear the guys on the team like and respect Huberdeau a lot. They figure he’s putting a lot of work into trying to get back on track, and hasn’t gotten results. So all this talk about how they’d be bitter if he gets “unearned” ice time is BS.
Dube was also pumped about scoring the Vegas trip goal.

A few games ago, she was talking about how fatigue affects you mentally before it sets in physically, and your brain responds by falling back on old habits. She suggested that was why the Flames were running around in their own zone so much.
I can see that, especially since mental fatigue will affect different people at different rates. If some of the players were trying very hard to play the new system, and some were slipping back into the old one, the result is no system at all – which is a pretty good approximation of what we saw.
I find myself really liking Meaghan Mikkelson's colour commentary because of little insights like that.

4-1-1 in their last 6 games. And the game before that was the Dallas game where they looked good. The only stinker was Ottawa.

Missed this one but stoked to watch it tomorrow now. Glad to hear Huberdeau got one. Hopefully he gets going now that the monkey is off his back.

But if the hockey gods could concoct one perfect hockey jersey to represent the best of mankind they'd probably present the Flames home reds exactly as they are.

Does anyone know what Dube's point production actually is in games the Flames wear a blasty jersey? He has to be near a PPG.

As for JH, he was still struggling big time in the first.
In the second he had back to back shifts were he just looked different after a couple of his nice cross ice passes connected.
In the third he looked really confident, that line cycled and controlled the zone.
It's really amazing and shows the fine line that confidence is, in such a tough, quick decision type situation...the simple successful execution of what play you think should work in your head, can pull out of the funk. In this case, a couple crisp passes that he visualized and actually came off as he visualized.
He's thought about and tried most of those passes plenty of times this past season or two, but they didn't connect for whatever reason.
But, as soon as they do in succession, he instantly feels better, on ice confidence gets a boost and gets back into a groove and ends the night with 2pts.
He's not out of the woods by any means, but just the little things going his way or the way he intended, means it just starts to all feel more natural again and this involves less thinking and more doing, and then that snowballs into better things.
And that's something he can take with him into games, that patience and preserverance will pay off.

And Markstrom is playing very well. Very well positionally, looks confident...and there were a handful of hard shots into his midsection tonight that, ever since the Greaser series 1.5 years ago, one or two of them find their way through per game...but not now.

Yup, that's a few games in a row now that the only shots beating him are the ones he doesn't see. Guy has been on point
