Just got back from the game:
- Really great atmosphere for the game. Not sure it was shown on TV, but there was a standing ovation for the armed forces present in the 3rd period.
- Ramo played great. The only concerns I have is his lateral speed (sometimes looks a little slow after rebounds) and his puck control (he had a couple adventures behind the net)
- Colborne is looking better and better. There were a couple shifts where his line seemed to dominate offensively
- Stajan played like an elite centre. Almost every good rush up had him towing the puck
- Really, the centres as a whole were good. Backlund looked great defensively and had a Cammalleri-esc one timer goal.
- Phoenix looked dead tired out there. The Flames seemed to outspeed them at every turn.
- Brodie had an excellent game. Huge minutes eaten and really didn't seem out of place playing them all out.
Oh, and quoth the Ramo: never score.
