Gaudreau is unreal. That move he made to get the puck off the boards for his 2nd assist was incredible. I have been completely skeptical of him the past 3 years and I need to completely recant. Amazing.
Monahan, Colborne and Jooris were excellent.
Bennett was solid but you could tell he's just not quite there.
Baertschi looked really good and played a very complete physical game. I think he goes down (largely because they'll only have room for 1 young guy which has to be held for Gaudreau) but give it 35-50 games, the Flames will clear out some (at the moment, necessary) deadwood vets and he won't look back.
Very very exciting game against what is nearly the Jets regular NHL line up.
