Overall, best part was a comeback (even if ultimately unsuccessful).
More than talent, last years team needed an upgrade in resilience. The attitude changes when you prove that you can do something like come back from 0-3 is huge, and with a coach who will pull out the stops to make it happen. Today, the team proved to both fans and themselves that they’re capable of it.
I KNOW it’s just preseason. But every interview of the returning Flames talks about how much last year sucked for them, and how they want a fresh start. These kinds of experiences make for good groundwork for the rest of the season.
