Bouwmeester continued to look good. He's more physical and always sneaking in from the point into the slot when it makes sense. He's been a very different player under Hartley, so yes, I blame Brent Sutter for Bouwmeester's struggles the last few seasons.
Cammy looked good, but not 2008 Cammy. He got squeezed out by bigger guys on more than a few plays, but he was able to find open ice to receive passes which is why he's been successful throughout his career.
Cervenka is still very slow. Not sure if this is due to bad skating/technique or that he's out of shape, so it's hard to say. From a skill standpoint, he definitely has talent and a lot of it. More interesting than Cervenka was the line of Cervenka, Hudler and Tanguay though. Awesome skill and I think if Hartley is willing to keep Tanguay with this line, will become the highest scoring line for the Flames this year regardless how hot Iggy gets.
