I think Bob should play this video in the locker room before the game, to remind the players who they're playing for, and for what they can accomplish when they do so.

Celebrated Square Root Day

AC, the only thing that would be awesome on this video, and you may already know about the feature and it may be difficult/annoying to implement and not worth the trouble.
I watch a lot of full concerts on youtube and there's this feature where the uploader lists all the songs as clickable links in the info section of the video. So if you're watching a concert you'll see;
1: Enter Sandman 0:00
2: Fade to black 4:47
3: One 8:02
With the time stamp being a blue, clickable link that moves the youtube video directly to that timestamp.
Of all your videos if there was one to do that for it would be this one. It would be pretty convenient to go through a list and see;
5: Boston comeback on such and such date 15:35
and then just click the time and go straight to it. Again, it may be very annoying/time consuming, so I'm not sure if it's worth, but definitely something to consider.

Good idea! Just added the list in a couple minutes worth of skimming!
I also added a watermark to my YouTube channel today as I just discovered the feature. Hopefully its not too annoying.

Great video AC as usual. I'm pretty sure I hear myself in the crowd on Russell's GWG in Game 1 in Vancouver...

God damn.
So, I was thinking about this after AC posted the Gaudreau videos: the third goal of his hat-trick in the LA comeback glances off of Doughty's skate on a backhand "pass" (12:26 of the above video). Hrudey calling the replay says that Gaudreau is "looking for his team-mate, but after having watched the play now over and over dozens of times, I am quite convinced that this was an intended bank-shot:
· There is no Flames player anywhere in the vicinity of where Gaudreau places the puck. Hurdler is closest, and Monahan is a little past him on the left side, but Hudler is still several steps behind, and nowhere near where the puck is going.
· Follow Gaudreau's own line of sight. When he shovels the puck back, he is looking at Doughty's skates as it glances off of them.
He is such a special talent, I can't help but conclude that this was just another case of "Johnny doing Johnny things." Given that he never misplaces his line mates nor the puck; given how the play developed and his movement through it, this was all him.

Love the video AC. A few thoughts watching after watching all that again.
1) Hiller was huge at times last year. Lots of big moments in those early comeback wins and in the playoffs early on. Doesn't even show the Chicago game where he stole points from them. He's inconsistent, for sure, but when he's on he's such an excellent goalie. Hope he finds more consistency this year.
2) There's a lot of luck in these comebacks. Sure, effort and determination can create lucky bounces, but there sure were a LOT of lucky goals, especially in the first half of the season. When people tout PDO as a measure of luck, they don't even need to do that, just look at some of those highlights (Brodie's winner against Boston comes to mind).
3) Bouma is clutch. He had some great goals at key moments in those comebacks, and he actually has a pretty good shot now. Anyone who believes that last year was a fluke needs to watch how he plays. He'll definitely get around 15 goals again this year.
It just seems to me that those early comebacks were a team still figuring out how to win. It happened less as the season went on as more and more wins came from doing it the right way, but they still knew how to comeback when they needed to. That experience will go a long way to making them a difficult team to play against.

Great work as always AC! I will be watching this multiple times for sure.
One thing I thought would have been neat would have been to splice in clips of pundits claiming they couldn't keep it up and they were going to fall back to Earth at anytime, and then roll into highlights of the next comeback.
We all appreciate the quality of videos we get from you. This community is truly spoiled.

I thought this too, especially given the intensity of his celebration afterwards. Like, yes, it's his first career hat-trick and it tied the game, but it seemed to be a celebration that included a "I can't believe that actually worked!" element.
Of course, how do you ever convince others that you intended to do something like that? Having said that, if anyone could be convincing in this case, it's Johnny Hockey...

I third the suspecting it was never a pass bit. we'll never know for sure sure.

Powerplay Quarterback

The 2014 / 2015 season can never be replicated. I fully expect the Flames to be a better team..and win more games in the coming years but that's half the problem. We all expect it now.
Plus if they are better, fewer comebacks and less drama. A thrilling third period comeback just leaves you so much more juiced than a 3-1 win where you controlled the game start-to-finish. We all love the latter, but the pure exhilaration of the prior is unreal.
AC -> This is also my favourite Vid of the summer and I can't thank you enough for this. The best 2014/2015 keep-sake I have. I love that from the ample comments from the broadcasters (usually Ball / Hrudy) you totally get the sense that they just did this #### all year long. Which they did!!

Agreed! There would be no shortage of juicy clips to use. Could make a video splicing in Mike Johnston's tears of jealousy and denial alone.

Colborne in game one against the Canucks that lead to Russell's goal... that was probably the best shift by a single Flames player I've seen in a long game. if only he can do that consistently....

It's funny how when Johnson actually started, you know, watching the Flames, he all of a sudden changed his tune.

That was just incredible. What a magical season! Just think that if one or two of those comebacks didnt happen, we may not have made the playoffs.
Its a real shame they couldn't have ended up winning the Ottawa game. I had to go out that night so I PVRed the game. When I got home late I asked my wife to check the score to let me know if it was a game worth staying up really late on a work night to watch. For example a Flames win or at least a fairly close loss. She told me yes. So I watched the entire game. When the Flames were down 4 to 0 midway through the 3rd period I started getting grumpy. 'Oh great I stayed up til the wee hours of the morning to watch this? She probably read the score wrong. Or the Flames will probably score a goal or two at the end to make it a little more respectable.' But then when they tied it up I was going crazy. Good times!
Really looking forward to next year!

Fourthed, just something in the way he was looking makes it seem like he thought that was his best option. If hes looking to pass that's not a play he makes he would have gone around the net.

After the game Millions asked him and he said he was looking for a defenseman and he's have to be pretty good to do that on purpose. Wideman I think?
