It's a game you can build on but there was a lot of badness outside of Backlund and Frolik and Elliott. Turnovers continue to haunt the Flames and Gaudreau has been notorious for them so far this season.

If they get the first line contributing it will force teams to play from behind a bit more which should only help to open things up for the flames offense. the thing I liked was how they came out strong and took it to the hawks. if they could have got a early one it would have done wonders for them.
