Yeah, Glencross was giving a half a**ed effort all night. To me he looked intimated while the young guys who didn't know any better were giving it.

TSN had a great segment showing how the Flames are protecting Monahan in their own zone by having Sven Baertschi play the center role defensively. Anyone else enjoy the irony in Brian Burke’s “only plays in one of the three zones occasionally” whipping boy being the guy to help the kid out in his own zone?

That's true Baertschi has been playing hard in all three zones and threw a few good checks as well. What TSN also said is that Baertschi would look at Monahan to see if he wanted to resume his centre duties but Monahan would shake his head, so I don't think it's a plan by the Flames. I noticed after that happened a couple of times, Monahan missed a couple of shifts.
Anyways great effort by the Flames, bad luck they couldn't capitalize.
Colburne finally is looking like he's not just a tourist. Streets a hard worker but I'll be glad when Stajan is back. Backlund had a good game.
