I thought Backlund, Frolik, Bennett, and Jokipakka had a strong game. As for Brodie he took a couple of periods adjusting to playing on the left side, but was decent in the 3rd. Everyone else was pretty bad.
The difference was that Pavelec stood on his head meanwhile missed coverage really cost the Flames. The D were noticeably slow today, especially Grossmann,Wideman, and Grigorev. Kulak made some good plays, but at the same time had a couple of turnovers.
As far as the forwards, aside from the trio I mentioned the others were either invisible, or not playing that well. Edit: Tkachuk was noticeable around the paint a few times, but was a bit manhandled throughout the game.
