I didn't enjoy the 1st period much. I thought the Flames made too many gaffs and didn't look comfortable at all. Shades of GG saying the team "wasn't ready to start the game". In this case I think it's excusable, though. Lots of new players, new systems, new coaches, etc. It may take a number of games before this team is playing the way Peters expects.
I thought guys like Lindholm and Czarnik made some questionable choices in the offensive and neutral zone last night. Johnny was floating. Especially early in the game. As the game wore on, I thought they looked better. You wouldn't know it from Lindholm's -4, mind you.
