This is far from an excuse. The Flames need to get their heads out of their asses and play to their potential.
But the Canucks played last night like a young team with nothing to lose all jazzed up in their home opener. They skated and forechecked far more aggressively than you can expect for the entire season. I don't think it was a huge coincidence that they took 7 penalties.
The Flames did not. They were timid and unsure and skating in sand.
Even still. With 7 pps. They should have won. Despite being outplayed. They should have won.
PP the goat.
