I don’t know how, but they did. Calgary returned from an early season Eastern road-swing with a perfect 5-0 record taking on some heavy hitters like the Washington Capitals and NY Rangers.
After a shaky start to the season v. Edmonton and Anaheim, which reminded many fans of the Flames of old, Calgary took off East to find their winning groove. What went right?
Right off the bat Sutter’s mark is being felt on the back-end. As fans rightly grumbled about Zadorov and Gudbranson, the latter has been working well with young Valiamki as the 3rd pairing.
