1st period was a big black hole of suck. After that I thought the Flames played better as the game wore on. The difference was goaltending, terrible officiating, bad luck, and two massive brain farts by Grossman. Elliott had a rough night, but I have a feeling tonight was an anomaly. I think he'll be better next game, as will the rest of the team. It's only the first game and there's no reason to jump off a bridge just yet.
But yea, losing to Edmonton is unacceptable.
