Biggest problem last night wasn't that they were small, it's that they looked slow.
Vancouver beat them to every loose puck and closed every gap or inch of free ice the Flames had.
Considering how quick they looked in pre-season at times I am chalking that up to them just not being ready or working hard enough last night. The amount of times where Flames players were just not moving their feet and standing still were very noticeable.
