I'm just going to reiterate a point I made in the GT.
David Rittich looks like an all-star so far.
The defensemen all look very good to start the year, including new offense from Hanifin and even better defense from Andersson.
The forwards have been a mixed bag, but Monahan looks very quick and strong to start the year, and Lindholm continues to be a great 200 foot player. Johnny has had his struggles, but you can't argue with his production. The rest will come with time. There are signs of good things happening without any results yet.
Now let's talk penalties. It is easy to say the Flames need to be more disciplined. They absolutely do. But let's be real, there have been an exceptional amount of borderline calls against the Flames in these first 4 games. Things will even out over time.
The PK is solid, and the PP is producing.
All in all, this team looks to be in good shape.
