Honestly thought the Flames were going to tie this one up, but Zadorov untimely penalty/goal pretty much killed any chance of that happening. Just a reminder for this team that their work, their checking and their details will have to be there all season long if this team wants to be successful.
Thought the 21-22 Flames got away with a lot of mediocre efforts last season because the top line won these types of games singlehandedly. But this team doesn’t have that kind of dominant line any more that can put up 3-4 goals on any given night, so it’ll have to be more of a collective effort this season and only a handful of players really showed up tonight. Don’t think effort will be an issue for the team on Saturday.
