That being said, he has played pretty well for the most part.

Hes faced 2 quality shots... 1 went in... I disagree.

Hudlers dangling reminds me so much of Hakan Loob/Joe Mullen....he owns that puck and you can see the opposition stand and admire his skill all while looking scared ______

Yeah he plays like he's far bigger than he is. His absolute world class skill has been a surprise to me. I knew he was good - but I didn't know how good. He was pretty buried in Detroit. Best signing this off-season. Well - I suppose Wideman could give him a a run for his money - he's far more talented than I expected!

Tiny stick, low centre of gravity.

Watch him in the second, he swivels around, swinging his hips. Probably a ton of compact core strength in that body.

Irving to me has shown he can be a quality NHL back-up, so it's a start but he's still got some leaps to make to be a quality NHL starter. Not sure if he'll get there but I wouldn't be shocked if he did or anything either.

The guy is world class.

He's proving me wrong so far. He's small and slow and skilled, so I thought he'd be exposed in the Flames.

Definitely (and implied), but Cervenka is good friends with Jagr.

Ferrero must have bet the under, he's still trashing the Dallas defense.

Only games played will help his development now, and I don't mean in the AHL. Give him 25 starts and you will get a good read on him.

Tanguay and Iginla need to be kept apart. It just doesn't work the way it used to.

Love that Czech line with Tanguay on it.

Iginla and Glencross are OK together when they play a straight line up and down game.

Irving doesn't look too bad, I think he's looked good enough that we shouldn't give up on him

Goal wasn't his fault at all and he saved what should have been a goal so that seems pretty good to me.

I don't think he's that slow - he certainly isn't a smooth skater - he looks like he's working hard but I didn't think he was that slow.
