These guys are looking fast and excited to play, something we have lacked for awhile.
Maybe these guys should have been called up a long time ago and we shouldn't have held them back so long.. Maybe they aren't as bad as we think they are.

I don't really think any of the young guys were held back and I don't think there were too many guys that deserved to be with the Flames but wasn't. A guy like Horak is obviously ready for the NHL, but he wasn't ready for anything more than a 4th line role and some time on the 3rd line. Sometimes you got to sent the guy down for the sake of player development.
But ya, young guys can bring the type of energy that older veterans often lack. But at the end of the day, it's no fun when the team is losing hockey games.
