Awesome game by the kid line with Hudler. Baertschi was making many great little plays and was tenacious at both ends of the ice, kinda like he was for a good part of the last game.
The 3 UFA vets with great games too, though Stempy & Stajan should've been there to tie up Little, but they were really good other than that. Big surprise to see Matty lead the Flames in hits tonight, but he put a beauty hit on Schiefle, then drew a penalty on Clitsome seconds later.
Backlund with multiple failed attempts to clear the D-zone cost the Flames the Jets 1st goal. Hope he doesn't get punished too bad or demoted to the 4th line next game.
Colborne meh until the shootout, where he had a sick deke for a goal.
Brodie scored and was a +2, but kinda struggled in his own zone at times and got knocked around pretty good in this one by the Jets forwards alot.
Berra was good other than the bad rebound on the Little goal. 3rd goal he got screened by both Wideman & Butler.
