Reminds me way too much of the last few years where we waited for our star to show up and had to keep our hopes up based on glimpses of him looking like the player we hoped he would be.

From the Senators vs Flames game thread:

The good:
Josh Jooris: was all over the ice all night, great forechecking, created chances and was very strong in keeping possession.

Sven Baertchi: If the rest of the team had any finish tonight he would have had 3-4 assists, he just kept setting up golden chances every shift. Best game of the preseason/prospect camp so far for him.

Brodie: solid as you would expect, nothing wrong with his game at all tonight.

Wotherspoon: didn't make a mistake all night from what I saw, him and Brodie were definitely the best pair out there.

The bad:
OBrien: for a very rookie defence, it's embarrassing that he was by far th biggest liability out there. Slowest man on the back end, directly at fault for 2 ga.

Berra: looked like a Henrik Karlsson clone to me, went down way too early, Ottawa just kept going high on him. Expect him to be with the Heat.

Monahan and Poirier both had average games, I was happy with Knight, and Sieloff had moments that I really liked. Big Ern had an awesome fight.

I'll try to answer questions about the other guys.

There. There is a game where I came away raving about Baertschi's play.
