Sloppy game. The Flames looked like they had too many days off, and struggled to get their timing together at game-speed. It was worse against another team that plays a fast, heavy forecheck like they do.
I thought the whole Backlund line played quite well; everyone else besides them and Vladar struggled, though. But, I also liked some of the flashes I saw from Coronado (I did that on purpose). It's two games, but, so far, he looks better to me than he did last year.

My main frustration at this point is that I think people are going to complain about this all season, and it's annoying. Get used to it—both goalies are going to split the entire schedule, which is exactly what should happen. I expect they have a set rotation for the next few weeks, and will stick to it.
Vladar is doing an excellent job of proving that, now that he is healthy, he is a MUCH better goalie than he played last season. If he is playing a lot, that means he is playing well, which is what everyone should want to happen.
