Latendresse was injured last night. I'm not sure what happened, but he came over and sat in the section of seats. I'm not sure what happened, but he came over and sat in the section of seats I was in and it looked like he was wincing as he sat down. They played McArdle on the Downie/Brassard line in his place. Riley Hozapfel has been invited to take his place.
I wasn't very impressed with Bernier. On the first goal it looked like he lost track of the puck and it ended up getting banged in off the back of his leg. The second goal he misplayed the puck badly behind the net. He got better later, but was outplayed by Price, Plante and Levasseur.
I don't know much about Levasseur, but he made some pretty impressive saves. A number of them were without a goal stick too. He pretty much grabbed Bourdon's stick out of his hands because none of the defencemen would gave him a stick.
I agree with the posters earlier that McArdle had a good game. As did Marc Staal, Toews, Cogliano, and I was surprised by Ryan Russell, I don't think he'll make the team, but I noticed him more than I thought I would.
I liked Brassard's skating again, but in the first period he was too fancy with the puck and kept trying long reach passes that was easily picked off by the white team. But he wasn't the only one on red who seemed to have that problem. The white team were better earlier in the game and that lead to the them winning. White was better at passing, shooting, defence, and Price is the best of the 4 goalies from what I can tell and that didn't hurt last night either.
I thought it was just me, but I thought I'd notice Jordan Staal or at least that he'd have more of a presense on the ice, but I hardly noticed him. I was also some what dissapointed with Ryder (especially since I'm a Flames fan) I think it was him who gave the puck away that lead to a goal. Giroux looked better than he had at practice, I noticed he's a good passer. Oh and Downie was Downie.
