I really hope it turns around for them and the team as I'd sure like to see lots of the prospects called up throughout this year.

I have watched all the games.
Baertschi has been excellent, best and most dangerous player offensively.
Reinhart - okay, could be better
Ferland - not as good as Sven, but decent
Arnold - okay, better at times but has also struggled a bit
Agostino - similar to Arnold, but more good than bad.
Granlund - the only player besides Sven who has been consistently dangerous.
Wolf - he was good for his only game.
Tousignant - mediocre
Hathaway - decent 4th line effort, not really noticeable though.
Van Brabant - slightly better than Hathaway, but not as good as he could be
Knight - has had some chances, but has been snakebit.
The main problem with the Flames thus far is their woefully bad defense and goaltending. Most of the goals that they have allowed, they could've handled if they were playing at a decent level and making an average NHL goalie calibre saves, but they weren't and that hurts on the scoreboard. The defense is extremely pathetic thus far. Stevenson and Yonkman are bad (Yonks in too slow even for the AHL), and Cundari has made a lot of boneheaded plays defensively. Kulak has been fine, Sieloff has been okay, Wotherspoon has been consistently good in his appearances.
