It's difficult to be upset after that game. Very clunky first couple of periods until the officiating and players calmed down. Once the game got a little rhythm the Flames looked fine.
The top line especially looks good again, which is nice because we will live and die by their production.
The third line also looked good after they were able to take some regular shifts.
I thought that Tkachuk really struggled. I hope that he doesn't need more games to shake off the rust. He had at least one outrageous give away, among other sloppy plays.
Defence looks line other the Kylington who continues to struggle in his own zone.
Final thoughts. I ####ing love that hockey is back. I love me some hockey watchin.
