I thought the Flames played better than the score. Some bad moments, bad bounces, Markstrom was good, but also a lot of chances and good energy through most of it.
That powerplay though, woof. At powerplays 2-5 we’re just awful. 1 was ok, 6 and 7 were good, but you have to score.
Frolik seemed noticeably bad. Ryan was meh. Lindholm was great. Hanifin was great. Neal got a lot better as the game went on. Brodie seemed a LOT better than last season, and even Bennett had some good jam.
Nice having that crew of RW to mix around when things aren’t clicking. Czarnik and Lindholm improved every line they were on.
