I'll give some of my thoughts on the game.
Monahan- Got better as the game went on. Would have liked him to be a bit more noticeable, but even then he still found his way on the score sheet. Says a lot about him and his game when he isn't noticeable, but still finds a way to score.
Poirer- Really impressed with his willingness to go the net. And you can't argue with the results.
Knight- Really liked his two way game. Nothing outstanding, but just a solid game from him.
Baertschi- Expect more from him in a tournament like this. Bit disappointing.
Granlund- Really impressed with him. May have been the best flame tonight. He is definitely a guy that could surprise and force his way onto the team during camp.
Ramage- Probably the biggest surprise for me today. Thought he was really poised especially in the offensive zone. Will be very interesting to track his progress with the Heat this season.
Ferland- Really liked his game. Used his size and had a fantastic pass on Granlund's goal.
Hanowski- I really thought he looked good. Looked like he has worked on his skating and he didn't look awkward out there like he did to end the season with the flames.
Reinhart- Typical solid game that we expect from Reinhart. Looked most NHL ready to me today.
Taranto?- For an invite I thought he was pretty noticeable. Seemed to work hard and that line was a force all night.
Always nice to beat the Oilers. Shame I'm going to miss tomorrow's game.
