Flames badly outshoot the Oil, doesn't that mean we won the possession stats, isn't that the goal
Thought on what went wrong:
1. Elliott was as bad as anything Hiller gave us last year
2. Grossman
3. The officials fully bought in to the McDavid passing the torch hype and played their part.
4. Flames look sloppy in their own end
5. Our top line looked like it couldn't hold a candle to the Oilers top line.
The good news. Despite all that:
1. We only needed one of the first 3 things listed to have not been the case and we win the game.
2. We still badly outshot the Oil.
3. Team IMO looks like they need some time to adjust to the coaching, figure out pairing,and get the top line into game shape after missing the ore season, and I still didn't think besides the score it was that bad an effort for game 1.
