If there's one thing that game showed me, it's who has pro experience. Jooris, Granlund and Ferland looked great. Ramage looked good as well. And it wasn't just on the Flames either. Lowery stood out big time.
Gaudreau was Gaudreau. He's more than ready for the pros.
You could also tell who was green. Bennett had his moments, but for the most part played a bit cautiously until the third period. Smith was aggressive, but hesitant at times. Kulak and Culkin looked bad on numerous occasions in their own zone, but had some decent looks in the O-zone. I loved Sieloff and Kanzig's physicality especially.
Overall, it was a solid come from behind win. Onto the Oilers tomorrow.
