Got back...random thoughts in no order:
- Berra did alright. The 3rd goal was on him, but it was hardly the deciding factor.
- Cammalleri seemed to think he is much better than he is...there were lots of plays where he made a fancy move or two too many.
- Bouma looks hurt or bored or something. Didn't seem to be doing anything.
- Flames couldn't deal with the larger Flyers collapsing. Giordano and Stajan fired tonnes of shots straight into feet.
- Butler was the most notable in bad moves (lost track of the puck 10 feet from his net, gave up an odd man rush...on a couple occasions), but Smith and SOB weren't doing the team any favours.
- Monahan is more impressive tonight than he's been since he returned. Not sure this was notable on TV, but he always seemed to know where to go and, if he had better speed, would be a huge force for the team.
- Same goes with Byron, but replace speed with size.
- Colborne seems to play the game a little slow. When he has time, he is a great player...he just can't play the quality of game his hands and size allow when he's hurried.
- David Jones looked good...did the right things, but couldn't get any points.
- Team needs to develop some plans of attack...many times, they thought they knew where their forward linemates were going and just threw the puck away.
- I think I sat near Ren...or a clone of him. He seriously looks like Ren from what I remember of the pubes swallowing video and made comments similar to what Ren would say about the Flames.
