Too be expected when you ice lots of young kids and give them ice. At least the kids were competitive.
I think Horak looks a lot better than the previous times he was up. He's developed that extra first step which is helping him break away from backcheckers and pressure on the backcheck himself.
Sven is still missing that first step and really needs to work on his skating in the summer. For a small skilled guy, I think he needs to be quicker. With his skill level, that extra quickness will help him get to the scoring areas.
I like Reinhart's compete and he has a great slap shot. He still looks a bit raw out there and could use some more polish in the AHL. He reminds me of Chris Higgins.
I can't wait till this team is rid of Tanguay and Glencross. Tanguay has just checked out since Iggy left. He really shouldn't even be dressed. As for Glencross, I can't believe some were suggesting he be the next captain, the guy is the most selfish Flame out there. In that shift where Bieksa throw Backlund down after the whistle, Glencross was right there and just walked away. What the hell kind of a leader is that??? Iggy would have tuned Bieksa out. Just a pathetic response by Glencross, he doesn't have to fight Bieksa but at least go and back up Backlund, he just skated off. These two guys represent all that is wrong with the Flames, a sulker and a selfish and bad teammate.
