Tonight, Cam Talbot was scored on in two of the first three shots he faced. But he was stellar from there, stopping 23 of the next 24 shots to help the NHLFlames come out on top against the NYRangers – and his mentor, Henrik Lundqvist. (EricFrancis)
CALGARY — In the midst of all the excitement, Mikael Backlund caught himself when talking about scoring against one of his childhood heroes.
“I saw what Johnny did just before and I thought, ‘maybe I’ll try the same,’ and then thought, ‘maybe I’ll change it up a bit and lift it up, try to go high,’” he said with a smile, describing a goal that put the Flames up 2-0 a mere seven minutes in when he finished with a backhand just under the Hall of Famer’s glove.
You never know what you’re going to get, which was the theme surrounding the Flames their last two outings in which they opened with 3-0 deficits.
