The irony here is the Flames looked (outside of Smith) EXACTLY like the did in preseason. Some of us even called them out on it and got lambasted by the fact "its just preseason, do you think Gio is going to give it 100% in preseason and risk injury"
Well folks, there you have it. Every year we float and play like dog#### in preseason and we are now 1-14 in Season openers. I think we should probably start "trying" a bit more in preseason, you know to get ready for the SEASON that starts soon after. The effort out there outside of 2-3 individuals was absolutely disgusting. They looked lost, they looked slow, they looked like they didn't want the puck at all.
Is there a team that ice's the puck more than Calgary?? They didn't want any possession, we generated maybe 1 good scoring chance in close?
Brouwer - Gone
Brodie - Traded in package for something better
Lines mixed up please
Stajan sent down/traded for anything we can get.
Janko up
This team needs an elite scoring RW, we've all been saying it for years but we truly do. Jagr can help but we still need one for the long term. Package starts with Brodie, we can add to it from there.
