Really liked Sven's all around game tonight. Backlund too. Thought Colborne had his best game as a Flame. Hudler and Giordano were as solid as ever and Kris Russell played really well tonight. I'm thinking we see Ramo next as Joey Mac looked shaky. I'm starting to get tired of watching Glencross. He was one of my favorite Flames for a long time, but he's headed for Bourque territory. Jackman is just taking a roster spot from guys like Horak, Hanowski, and Ferland. Butler is awful. I actually thought O'Brien had a solid game though. Snuck a few shots through that Fasth didn't see until last second.
Overall, can't be too upset. The effort was there. You could say they were the better team from Jackman's penalty on. Regardless of results, if this effort stays, I'll be ok with how this season plays out.
