I'm going to refrain from cancelling some of the players. Of course some guys need to start playing better, but I'm not worried about guys like Huberdeau, Lindholm, Hanifin, etc.
I have 2 takeaways from this game:
1. Seattle completely outworked us and wanted it more in that 3rd period
2. The Flames were super sloppy in the neutral zone and just inside the blueline, way to many turnovers
Its a new core, they haven't played anything close to their best hockey and they are 5 - 3. They'll be fine, breath people.
In Sutter we trust.
