And its not like the Flames walloped them or anything, that game was tight right to the end.
That was actually a pretty decent test of both sides. I'll take it.

Personally, I don’t think the Flames played well at all and the coach pretty much echoed the same sentiments. I think the team was very opportunistic and took advantage of shaky early season goaltending while conversely receiving a great goaltending performance by Markstrom in return.
The Flames will have to play waaaay better if they want to match up against the elite teams of the league. The Jets were basically in the same boat as the Flames last season, a bubble playoff team. Honestly I don’t even know what to make them now that they’ve lost PLD and Wheeler.
Regardless though, it’s game one of the season and it’s 2 points in the bank. I think It’ll definitely be interesting to see how this system compares to last season.
