Great game. I have to admit I thought the Flames had a chance for McDavid to start the season, but now I'm thinking the playoffs are a real possibilty.
For the rookies:
- Gaudreau was great again.
- Baerstchi wasn't bad but besides that one scoring chance he didn't stand out much. He will have to pick it up to stay with the big club.
- Granlund scored but like Sven didn't stand out either.
- Jooris was awesome. Not sure how a nobody in the AHL can be playing this well. Even if he only tops out as a 4th liner he will be a good one.
