Ramo I thought was fine. Made that glorious save early in the game to keep the momentum going. Maybe one of those goals he would like back, but everyone was losing their defensive assignments and started looking like they were skating in cement again.
On a small positive note, Baertschi was a -1. I found that funny.
Ferland had a good game. Flames came out and were just dancing around the Canucks for a while. Hamilton - Giordano didn't look like such a good pair, but it is early and they will either click, or Brodie will just replace Hamilton on the top pair (though I expect Brodie to be there regardless really).
Vancouver just wanted the win more, and dominated the Flames outside of the first 10 or 15 minutes of the game. Nice to see the Flames get off to a good start, but they just stopped skating hard, their passes seemed almost always just off the mark, and the Sedins made everyone lost their d-zone coverage.
Regroup and come out harder in Vancouver and hopefully sustain it for a full 60 minutes.
