I know that it's only game 2 of the season, but I sure hope the Flames put in a better effort tonight. The first two periods last night were lack luster at best, and finally in the 3rd they started to turn it around. Even with it being their home opener, the team didn't seem energized and ready to go. Hope the players don't get it in their heads that they don't have to try as hard this year (compared to last year) with all the young skill that is coming up through the system. Hartley is a great coach and I hope that he and the rest of the Flames leaders keep the team in check and they can continue to be a tough team to play against. If they lose that mentality this year, then I hate to say it, but we will become the new Oilers 2.0. Ugh.
