Too much crap on Ramo I think. Yep, he had a bad game. He has looked decent more often than not, but this guy is still adjusting to the NHL. After 20 games or so you can more accurately say if he has any future with the Flames or not. He is going to get a good long look by this organization. Definitely no reason to make a knee-jerk trade in a rebuild year.
Flames had a pretty good effort. Some defensive lapses, a couple soft goals.. but those are the bounces sometimes. Just nice to see this team work hard for 60 minutes rather than the characteristic 20 from seasons before.
Colborne looked decent tonight. Looking like he is stronger out there, and making better plays.
I think Backlund sat because Toronto is a pretty big team out there. I do think the Flames missed his speed and back-pressure though.
I hate losing to the Leafs.
