I liked the effort and toughness early tonight. The Flames displayed their new identity, especially in the first period. They stood up for each other more than we’ve seen the last two COVID-interrupted years. Unfortunately, they wilted as the game went on. The back-breaking fourth Oilers goal was reminiscent of the gutless and stupid Flames play of the last two seasons.

Positives: Mangiapaine

Negatives: Gaudreau, Monahan, Tkachuk, the entire defence, Markstrom (.871 SV%)

I really REALLY hate how well they made Mike Smith (.952 SV%) and the Oilers defence look. This Flames core and management just don’t seem to get how important it is to beat the Oilers. It’s like it’s just another game.

This team still has a lot of work to do.
