‘Runaway freight train’: Kevin Bahl becoming big-hit threat for Flames | Calgary Herald

Kevin Bahl, a towering defenceman for the Calgary Flames, has recently added a physical element to his game, delivering bone-rattling checks that have caught the attention of fans and analysts alike. His latest notable hit was on Chicago Blackhawks' Oliver Moore, described by commentators as a 'runaway freight train.' Flames coach Ryan Huska noted Bahl's growing confidence as a shutdown defenceman, which is beneficial for the team as they look to him as a long-term leader on the blue-line.
