Funny how different people see the same game differently.
I thought Colborne looked awkward and slow.
David Jones on the other hand was skating really well for a big guy. Maybe he is healthy??
Does anyone else see a problem with the small lines in our own end?
The only Flame line that wasn't being dominated was Monahan , Glencross and Jones... basically a line with 3 out of the 5 flames large forwards.
Very disappointed in Bouma and Stajan in not being able to earn more ice time.... they should be better than what they showed.... I thought that Stajan and Bouma should have the size and grit to play with Chicago's big lines. Does any line with Raymond on it become the 4th line?
When the Flames have absolutely no answer for Toews -- Granlund getting dominated... why wouldn't Stajan get more Toews time.... Is Stajan's best before date expired? or not able to re-focus after the injury or not at 100% physically.
Diaz was the most noticeable Flame out there.
Engelland made the defensive play of the game eating up the 2 on 1 caused by Diaz moving forward on a puck he had no chance on.
Russell came in a close second recovering from his stumble.
Great game .... shows the Flames playing near their best are not ready for a playoff series.
