I think Kerr said in the pregame that Wideman is back on Friday? If so, I hope that last night was Derek Smith's last game as a Flame. He was responsible for two of the goals against.
Also, I didn't mind the idea, in theory, of putting Westgarth and McGrattan on separate lines. Except, you know, they needed to be throwing the body more. We needed those two to wear down a tired Flyers team, and it didn't happen.

I agree with this, you can have them on seperated lines but for heavens sake hit someone! If they think their presence scares the other team they're wrong, they will just skate around them like last night. You have to wear the opposition down and make them look over their shoulder going into the corners. That's where mistakes get made and you capitalize on those mistakes.
Effort is there but there is skill on the team and it isn't being shown.
