Game 1: Flames 2, Canucks 1 [Flames lead series 1-0]

[Johnny Hoxville]

Under no circumstances should Bennett miss a game for the rest of the playoffs. He was our most dangerous forward all game and he has game changing speed. What a player!

Ferland was just a beast, this is what I've been wanting to see out of him all year and he brought the nasty. If he can play this way consistently, he's going to be a huge player for us, his game is built for the playoffs.

I think Backlund was just tremendous this game, seriously he was a star. Defensively he was the best forward on the ice, he broke up so many scoring chances that I lost count. Brodie was constantly driving our play and played extremely well I was also super impressed with Engelland, this game he was fantastic. Lastly Hiller was great, he more than did his job and made key saves all game.

We were far from perfect. But we got progressively better all game. We had timely goaltending, scored when it mattered and were able to elevate our play. I really like our odds of advancing!

thank you Bieksa. Poetic justice that it was Colborne who was the one initiated the GWG too.

It makes me so happy Bieksa was out there. I will always love Tom Kostopolous for one punching him.

Ol' Sourpuss won't be happy with that.

 

[Ace Rimmer]

Yup. You win some, you lose some.

I'm not sure if it makes up for 2004, but it's a start.

 

[Win One Before I Die]

I was checking out for more beer assuming over time was coming and the ******** scored. This series ain't over boys, Hiller had a great game and you guys probably stole this game. With that being said you shut the sisters down. Stop that.

Agreed. Hopefully the confidence gained by this win carries into Game 2 and they can come out hot from the start, the way they did vs the Kings.

 

[The Jesus*]

Im gonna be honest, I dont see us winning this series if WillieD doesn't adapt. If you guys win, Im rooting for you all the way.

We're a good team, but our coach is clueless. Hopefully our players can compensate for it. Good luck in game 2.

Bennett is the reason we had a solid second line.

For once, our secondary scoring showed up. Both teams' first line didn't get a point.

2nd round if we can keep it up.

 

[Kokoschka]

this Bennett guy you have is pretty decent.

Practice 2-on-1s a little and you should take this series .

 

[Gritty]

Just need to clarify one thing - was it me or did Bennett look very, very good?

I'm pretty sure it was a referee replying to someone beaking about a missed call.

 

[DCDM]

On a day where I have two final assignments due after a horrible (and shortened) night of sleep, the win last night certainly feels a bit sweeter this morning.

it was right after Gaudreau was high sticked
