I was always critical about David Jones not using his size and speed before but ever since he came back from eye injury, he's been playing well. Russell doesn't seem like he missed a step since he came back. He's been good and it helps that Giordano and Brodie are playing awesome. Now, someone might jump on my assessment on Butler's play of late. He is getting better and not making as much mistakes as he used to. Dennis Wideman on the hand I am not sure. I wonder if he is still hurting or he just came back too soon but I noticed his game kind of went down a bit. I am sure his game will be back soon. Nice to see Backlund shutting up a lot of people who's been criticizing him early in the season calling him a bust and we should trade for a bag of pucks. He's been our best player of late. I guess that thing called confidence is helping him a lot. Lance Bouma is becoming to be a good two-way player and heck Galiardi is playing much better ever since Hartley put him on a line with Monahan and Colborne. As for Berra, I thought he was playing well early on BUT that Hawks 3rd goal was brutal. He just let his first regulation win away on that bad, bad goal. Anyways good win for the Flames tonight. Lots of goals which makes it exciting.
