Things that Ferland is feeling:

• It

Beware you might get added to the list

II, I don't think Stone has been a standout but I think he's done his job overall. For sure a few mistakes but more good than bad. His played the body when need and done the job down low. I really like what I've seen so far, what a difference.

I think the difference can't be understated. There was one play in the first that really highlighted it for me. Hurricanes lobbed a puck into the corner on Stone and chased it. Stone shielded the guy off, then tangled him up and let the puck slide free for Brodie to pick up. That exact same play, Wideman's strategy is to let the guy pass and try to pin him, giving him control of the puck. Instead of starting a defensive-zone shift, we immediately broke out.

I agree Hox. I just noticed a few times this game where he was standing in front of the net looking lost (shades of Wideman).

 

[Ace Rimmer]

He's actually reminding me a lot of Chris Simon with his play on this road trip, except he can skate haha.

I was thinking Gary Roberts myself.

 

[Boomstick]

Way to go guys, keep this going. I'm loving this. Nice game Johnny.

 

[BobColesNasalCavity]

Big ****ing boys here we go.

Hey, Dougie won't make a post game interview video bomb if we're watching the Oilers

 

[JurassicTunga]

A great game from the Flames. Big 2 points. They could have easily looked past this game being on the last game of the long road trip, but they came to play. Very nice to see. Big road trip. Hopefully they can continue the good play back to Calgary. Great effort tonight.

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

I agree with Brodie getting 2nd star, he quietly had himself a fantastic game. What a good win, I'm so happy with this trip!

@ II, I don't disagree but I wonder if it's just a comfort thing. Eventually when you know all ins and outs of where your supposed to be, you don't think you just react. I saw that a few times to, but overall I'm really liking what I'm seeing.

 

[Volica]

Major, major, major win for the Flames.
This one on Tuesday is huge, but if we win that, I think our probability of making the show goes nuclear.

 

[Deen]

Ferland has got chemistry. Got a lot of chemistry. Got a lot of people trying to drain us of our synergy.

 

[Ace Rimmer]

Nice to see the first line win a game - it feels like its been a while.

 

[Flames Fanatic]

Only 4 points back of the Ducks and Oilers now.

Again I agree Hox, it has only been a few games. Once he gets settled into the system we will see less of that stuff. Overall I have been really happy with him as well.

 

[FlamerForLife]

Hamilton is a ****ing beauty
Although the Bennett line didn't get any points today, I really liked their game especially Bennett's.

 

[Volica]

Love how Dougie is feeding into this, love the guy.

I thought Stone had a bit of a tough game, he was fighting it early. Got better as the game went along. Won the possession game, even while they were completely just defending the entire third period (adjusted 23% CF% in the third ).

We might never lose again.

We will never lose again!!

 

[Deen]

It is possible Dougie gets on the other players nerves by being a big behemoth annoying joker with charisma but, they can be traded

 

[Tofveve]

Oh hey a day game where Johnny starred and I missed it. I even mad.

Yay though! Woohoo!

 

[Tofveve]

We will never lose again!!

Also, we will never score less than 3 goals in a game again!!
