Really really liked that 4th line today. Nice having some speed and offensive skill, it's doesn't need to be all slugs and checkers. Never thought much of Duehr before this year, but he's big and has good speed. Very pleasantly surprised. And small sample size but Pelletier is who I've always thought he was - good skater, very high hockey IQ, can play on any line. He's got a good future.
Vladar was very good. Since the Flames are more of a 1a/1b tandem I think you just run with the hot hand. He deserves a good run of games.
