Is it too early to start calling for Gulutzan's job? If we're going to panic we should do it right.

Grossmann shouldn't pinch or carry the puck because he lacks speed to come back, forward covering or no. And if he does, he needs to make a simple play, not try to pass under a blocking defenceman. And yes, Elliot needs that save.

Well, the Flames are usually pretty trash in season opening games.

We look pretty poor right now. No support, bad passes, no plan.

Hopefully we snap out of it, but right now it looks like we're going to hand that annoying fanbase something to gloat about.

Wow so far this is brutal. D pairings ruining our chances. Good guys can't pinch or do anything remotely offensive, too busy covering for their #6D partners.

Once the Oilers come down off their new arena high, this will settle out

Likely due to the fact that while most teams use the last few games as dress rehearsals, we for some reason continue to ice AHL lines and wait until the season to dress any sort of a realistic team

Loved that play by Brouwer in his own end. He's got some sneaky good hands.

Hard to imagine holding the Oilers to two shots and be down in the game.

McDavid to the dressing room. Isn't this the part where Lucic is supposed to murder everyone?
