- Hudler, Cervenka and Stajan line looked great, everyone of them, but Hudler looks to be the one stirring the pot.
- Iginla's line had a lot of what should have been chances but just didn't materialize, not great chemistry tonight.
- Cammalleri's line was invisible 5 on 5 outside of a couple of Backlund chances in the third. Very disappointing start of the season for Cammalleri.
- Bouwmeester had another strong game outside of that PP goal. Giordano didn't necessarily have a terrible game but he's still not playing like we expect. I wonder if he's having a tough time getting use to his visor because he seems to be having problems when the puck gets in his feet.
- Wideman and Brodie were Wideman and Brodie tonight.
- Butler and Sarich were Butler and Sarich. If you want to create a competition let it be between Babchuk and Smith, at this point Butler doesn't deserve to be on the ice, at the very least let Smith have a Butler game before sitting him.
- Kiprusoff was fighting the puck, terrible night for him, a normal performance from him and the Flames win.
- The ever optimist in me still thinks this team could make some noise, just can't seem to be firing on all cylinders at once. When Kiprusoff's playing world class the rest of the team sucks. When the highly paid forwards are clicking there's no secondary scorers, and when there is the top forwards are quiet. Now that Bouwmeester is playing like a 7 million dollar defenseman Giordano has taken a step back, but if everyone plays up to standards this is a playoff team. - I guess that goes with a lot of teams though.
