Flames really struggled for the first two periods with Carolina's speed and forecheck. There were so many times that the Flames were hemmed in their own zone because they could get the puck out. It was actually really frustrating to watch. I was really impressed with Slavin. Big guy who can skate and with soft hands as well.
It was a really strange game though as Calgary had some excellent chances on limited opportunities. Take the two points but Carolina was the better team last night.
