Wow, if that's what happens when you supposedly take out your worst defensive player in Baerchi, he'll be the top plus/minus player in a few more games like that. There was no creativity at all. Hudler is our best creative forward without Baerchi in the lineup. I suppose the Flames coaching staff think Sven should be a selke trophy nominee before getting credit for defense. I saw Sven many times back checking and rarely giving up the puck at inopportune times. Reminds me of the same old Flames management, breaking up good lines to get Iginla going, well now they just do it to send a message. Our best forward line "was" Hudler, Monahan, and Baerchi. Now we're screwing with the chemistry.
