Monahan showed up bigtime last game. Johnny showed up this game.


Look out when they both show up.

I would say top 6.

I've been happy with Nesterov and Valimaki.
That's what you want from a 5/6 pairing.

That was a good win. Gaudreau played really well today and hope he continues the momentum.

Markstrom won that game in the first period. However CGY actually started the game well: Lindholm and Backlund with back to back shifts to open the game. They were great in the D zone and break out.

However either the individual players or the coaches' game plan was to dump it in. I did not like that - you have an opponent that wants to get on the attack, wants to redeem themselves and you plan to dump it in and give it to them? Need to be better.

CGY was dampening their jump and then they got no shots. PP and VAN is up 6-1 shots and the ice got tilted. Great performance from Markstrom.


Great response by the boys - Good to see Simon put with Gaudreau and off they went.

Hope Dube is OK and great periods 2 and 3. Very solid in d zone and terrific on PP and offensive zone once they decided to hold on to the puck and play to their strengths.

I thought Leivo was good with Backlund and Lindholm - Tkachuk and Mangiapane were good too.

VAN learned the early CGY PP expertise by taking away the down low triangle plays but CGY adjusted with shots (Andersson post then Andersson blast that Johnny gave to Lindy) from up top and the circles.

Great win!! Tidy up the giveaways and blueline turnovers and this team will roll!

The Flames are 2nd in the entire NHL. And they have a better point percentage than the Leafs, who are first in the NHL.
Hehe.

6 is typically what that would imply, but we aren't at ends here. Flames D is standing out.

Flames looking good to start the year. Johnny and Monahan are both playing well, which is great news.

PP has been great.

Markstromm and Tanev living up to expectations so far. The small moves like Nesterov, Leivo and Simon are playing really well right now too

so far, so good
