I figured this game would be a tough one. Detroit parted together a half decent lineup in the offseason. They have a lot of dangerous forwards.
As for the Flames. They are slowly starting to look like last years team. At least that game sure did.
- shakey goaltending
- poor defensive coverage
- good PK
- decent PP (which is different)
- anemic forwards 5 on 5
- tons of turnovers.
I know Sutter took a lot of the blame for last season. But I’m still seeing a lot of the same problems. No game breaker is a massive problem.
Anyway. That was their worst game in my mind against a hot team without Anderson. But some flags are starting to go up.
