Always fun to see people freaking out about pre-season game #1 of 8.
The Flames dressed a bunch of older players - of course they were going to look bad against kids, because the kids actually GAF.
What was disappointing last night was Phillips, Gawdin, and guys like that.
Anyone who expected much from Lucic, Backlund, Lewis, Richardson, Pitlick, Andersson, etc, was setting themselves up for disappointment.
Every year, the young guys outplay the vets in the first few pre-season games, and every year, fans seem surprised and freak out about it.
