Not sure if Flames good or the Red Wings reeeaaaallly bad but that one felt a little too easy. Defensive clinic from the home side. Particularly liked the Ruzicka line in this one.
Great : Rasmus Andersson was fantastic in this game. Lindholm as well top quality, probably should have had at least one more goal. Mangiapane didn't show up on the score sheet but man he drives offense so so well. Tenacious. Will be interesting to see what his next contract looks like. I'll put Mony up here as well, moving his feet and keeping possessions alive. Even laying the body.
Good : Tkachuk & Gaudreau, did mostly whatever they wanted offensively, Johnny has some awesome NZ play. Markstrom wasn't busy but yet another shutout. Gudbranson, Ruzicka, Tanev, Backlund, Dube all very solid. Toffoli this guy f***s. Lots of chances and a nice finish on the PP.
Not bad : Zadorov mostly good, really has to rein in his stick though. Lewis exists and does his job.
Just ok : I know Coleman scored but thought this was kind of a sleepy game from him, couple poor turnovers at the defensive blue line and missing passes. Might be missing Mangiapane. Hanifin several bad reads and needless icings. Lucic, get the puck out man. Punched face and hit stuff. Stone about what you would expect, did reasonably well for his first game since December.
