I was at the dome when Joey Mullen played his first game in a Flames uniform ... that was electric.

That Jokinen game on TV, I think it was Philly was a huge tease, but exciting nonetheless.

Along with those and others are very basic first games for a host of acquired players like Blake Comeau, Jason Wiemer, Marcus Nilson, Shean Donovan, Marc Bureau, Chris Lindberg, or a Nick Fotiu.

Some memorable, some completely unmemorable.

I would guess Drew Shore on a scale of 1 (who cares) and 10 (can't believe we got this guy!) will come in somewhere in the middle, but how does he do tonight?

I didn't see too many debuts at the Dome, but I was there for Iginla's debut in the playoffs against Chicago. There's nothing quite like the excitement of potential.
