Could there be three more appropriate players to connect on the team's first goal under Sutter than Ryan, Bennett and Leivo?

This is so much better. I hope this ends the narrative that Sutter was just tweaking how they play. They forecheck differently, pressure in all areas of the ice, and aren't giving up a ton of odd man rushes like they usually do.

I am really enjoying watching them out there.

This Leivo Bennett combo is straight fire. Where did this come from.

Win or not tonight, and I know they’ll have some stinkers in the future, but if we can see this effort more often than not I’ll be happy.

It's early, but so far it almost looks like Bennett is a good player who was being held back by mediocre coaches.

Leivo has always been getting scoring chances, but now he looks great even when he doesn't have the puck.

The Bennett line is playing that game where everyone on the line has to get a touch before you can take a shot.

Defensively the Flames are going to the boards with the Habs a lot more. Not as passive.
