Was at the game last night...
First off, that was probably the the most fun Flames game I've been to, except the win over Chicago in 2009 playoffs.

- Backlund, Stempniak, Brodie, Stajan all played really well the entire game

- Couldn't believe how much time the 4th line got. When they were in the offensive zone, they played well, when they were trying to defend, it was pretty sketchy.

- Berra is a brutal. The entire second intermission I was thinking how he's going to lose us this game. Thank you Hartley for putting Ramo in. Berra will make the occasional highlight save, then absolutely be out of position for the next goal. It seems like some goaltending basics weren't ingrained so he has to overcommit and cheat to make saves, but for the most part he just looks bad. The Smith goal was such a momentum killer. Once the switch was made, you could tell the boys started playing better with Ramo instilling more confidence into the entire team.

- Bouma is an absolute beast, I think his name is going to be on my next jersey

- Chicago was sloppy as hell. Not sure if they thought they'll just cakewalk the Flames or what

- Brodie was all over the ice, nice to see him utilize that skating ability

- Toews... what can I say, so strong on the puck and fast. Just an awesome hockey player.

- Hudler was somewhat invisible

- I like Galiardi with Monahan and Colborne. He adds speed to that line, something the other two aren't well known for, so it makes for a nice mix.
