I think what happened last night was that MTS Centre is already a difficult building to play in, and Winnipeg has a tendency to pile up a lot of shots and zone-time early. This was probably compounded by the fact that several Flames players are still not playing at game-speed with over a week left before their season starts.

The team, not matter the lineup, hasn't looked good for most of the preseason.
Yep, it's preseason. It is by and large meaningless.
But there are two games left and the team looks a little lost. This is a team that needs to be firing on every cylinder if it wants to compete. And that starts in preseason.
It's not encouraging and i am a pretty positive fan.
