Other than Smith looking better than Elliott, it really looked a lot like last year's Flames out there.
The 3M line looking good, Brodie still continuing his season long slumber of not looking like himself, Brouwer still sucking balls, but most concerning is Gulutzan and staff being completely inept.
With Jagr not here yet Bennett should be playing with Versteeg and Janko, instead he rolls with Bennett-Brouwer which the whole world except the coaching staff knows don't work.
And of course our best PP dman by a mile doesn't get out with the 1st unit but rather mops up the last 30 secs on the 2nd unit while no shot Brodie is the only dman on the 1st unit.
All summer long to change the mind boggling stupidity but of course that would be asking too much.
As i've said previously, this team will never realize it's potential with GG 2.0 in charge. Another wasted season coming up.
Sorry for being so negative after 1 period but we've got a 1 year sample size on GG 2.0 not utilizing his players properly or able to make adjustments and it's already painfully obvious that's not gonna change this year.
