Yeah, the Heat had a PP and Ward pulled Taylor to make it a 2-man advantage.... Kadri potted into an EN.
I thought the scoreboard looked way worse than the actual gameplay was. Scrivens stood on his head (the guy has a wicked glove hand) and Taylor struggled a bit (the 4th goal was one I thought he should have had). The Heat PP was terrible tonight although I'd give some credit to the Marlies PK.
As for our guys,I thought Horak was the best player on the ice tonight for the Heat. Very quick and was pushing the pace while still playing a solid two way game (Ie, he looked more like the guy we saw in October and less like the guy we saw in February). Also, he might need some seasoning in the AHL but Reinhart is going to be a player. You can tell how smart the guy is already and he was creating opportunities out there. Really liked Nemisz game too... maybe it's because it's at an AHL level but his skating looked vastly improved.
I was kind of surprised by how many Flames jerseys were in the crowd... pretty neat to see that at Ricoh.
