“I should cut it in half and give it to Backs and Fro just for the job they did tonight. They gave me a couple of tap-in birdies there. Couple open nets and they were awesome tonight.” But the Flames had other ideas, refusing to give up on their pursuit of first in the Pacific division, which they found themselves playing second fiddle in on Saturday for the first time in more than two months.
“This stretch can be a little tough on the group but guys approached it the right way this morning. Now we’ve been No. 1 for a while and it puts a little more pressure on the team and maybe that’s part of why we had two losing streaks. Everybody has them, except Tampa I guess. Being through some tough years you really appreciate being in this spot and want to make the most of it for sure.”
“We got to our game early, came off it and got rattled, and then got composed again. But in the end, the execution improved.”
