-Stempniak: had another really good game. He seems so much stronger this year, really makes the game physical for the opposing team when he's out there.
-Cervenka: best game I've seen from him and really the first time I've really thought he looked like a legit NHLer for the entire game
-Baertschi: had a really strong second period at both ends of the rink. I wish he'd get more icetime... it looks like he thrives on it. At least they have him with some good players now.
-Iginla: made a key play at the most important time of the game. We're not going to see him dominate too many games anymore, but as long as he's in the line up it's nice to have someone with that poise.
-Taylor: glad he got the win, but I really hope Kipper is back this week.
-Giordano: took a lot of heat in the game thread but he made some really big plays including saving a sure goal that dribbled past Taylor.
-Tanguay and Wideman: play with far too little intensity on the PP. They aren't pushing anyone back with their drop passes because neither guy is approaching full speed. Hudler and Brodie actually get it in because they are willing to go all out.
-Stajan: another solid game from this guy. Good for him for turning his career back around.
-Bouwmeester: I love when he plays physical. He can be so damn good if he engages fully.
Great to see them win! GO FLAMES GO!
