The Calgary Flames may not be making this year’s playoffs, but at least they beat their archrivals and everybody’s most hated team, the Vancouver Canucks.
There’re basically only three storylines:
– rolling four solid forechecking lines;
– a near shutout for Jonah Hiller
– Sean Monahan scored his first NHL slapshot goal.
Nice played game. Hiller played a thriller of a game on Saturday night. The effort to protect the one goal lead had been terrific…unfortunately Jonas missed his shut out bid….The two empty netters (from Backlund and Bennett) had been awesome…..Sam Bennett deserves to be on ice during the empty net.
Not being in the post season is devastating…but looking back…everything happens for a reason….
They’ll make a late run and then pitter out
