I like seeing so much chatter between Flames players. They're very much at work

Smith has a good head, he made a nice play to slow things down. Put Butler in that situation he would have forced a pass and turn the puck over.

Hey Abbotsford Heat seeing as you watch the Heat games the most out of all of us, does Berra sometimes cheat like that in the AHL or is that a rare play for him?

I just hate seeing goaltenders cheat the shot/pass like that so I was wondering if it's a behaviour that needs to be coached out. Also, I understand he could be nervous (but doesn't show it) but still not an acceptable behaviour. IMO, outside of initiating a poke-check save, a good goaltender always needs to have the best eyes on the ice and the most patience.

Yes he cheated. He was also very good for 20 shots and Kane is a tricky one. Plus he was screened very well

it's not a play I have seen too often from him

it was a tricky play he was well screened and i think he sensed the lone player on the left of him. so there 2 decisions (both with zero sight): 1. go to the left and may be shot right. or 2. stay at the right side and see the lone player shoot the empty net. both decisions have their risks.
