Loved Primeau tonight too ... good trade.

Good write-up, but I was sure it was Amonte that got robbed by Budaj after the Yelle tip hit the post.

Kinda surprised that you gave Ritchie a little praise. I thought he had a terrible night. He couldn't clear the zone all night and he took a penalty that could have easily given the Avs life with a couple minutes left.

Yeah that was a poor penalty by Ritchie and unlike usual with his in the front feeds he shot well wide rather than burying it. Oh well.
I too think, and did so at the time, that the Primeau deal was almost an equal factor.

They couldn't seem to get the puck to stay on the ice the whole first period. Stuart stopping that goal when it was tied 2-2 in the second was clutch and turned the game around IMO. Also, Primeau had a great game, he seems like a Flames-type player and I hope that he gets re-signed and stays for awhile, no more moving from team to team during the season.
