People keep bringing up Tampa Bay's preseason record, but they just won the Stanley Cup... I'd bet they had Stanley Cup hangover and certainly didn't have a ton of roster spots open.
Calgary is in the opposite position that Tampa was in. Tons of questions and, possibly, some open roster spots to fill.
I haven't bothered to get too worked up about a preseason game, but citing Tampa Bay's performance as a corollary is certainly a reach
