Well I guess I was drunk too even though I was drinking water. I thought Baertschi did well tonight but I wasn't nitpicking. The thing is, if you watch the game with open mind and not concentrating on your dislike to a certain player you'll see that he was one of the best forward..he was following the play and going to the net and so on.
As far as Butler is concern, yes he made a few mistakes that almost cost us some goals but Ramo and the other guys bailed him out. I still think Butler is a 6th or 7th D for this team and he shouldn't play as much as he is right now. He tends to make mistakes when he is playing way too many minutes. Hopefully Wideman comes back soon so Butler can go back to his natural minutes of play.
It looks like Blair Jones really wanted to stay in the NHL the way he's been playing since the call-ups. Unfortunately once Monahan and Glencross, he'll be the platooning as a healthy scratch. I like his hustle especially on PK playing with Paul Byron, who's also playing well as a penalty killer. I wouldn't be surprised that Flames will send Reinhart to Abby first when Monahan comes back.
