Atrocious and apathetic start, and that's the biggest reason the Flames lost. Turnovers cost them tonight as well, and Markstrom looked human tonight (not terrible, just human).
Play like they did in periods 2 and 3, and the Flames will win most of their games. They just have to knock off the random periods they take completely off. They were lucky not to be down by more in the first as I thought that the Leafs missed on a couple of shots early.
That shot by Muzzin was classless. Everyone knows you don't do that. I don't care if Tkachuk went ballistic and had a temper tantrum walking off the ice - showing emotion after a loss is an ok thing to do.
