[GT] Season opener: Flames @ Oilers.

[1qqaaz]

Most of the Flames' defensemen have actually been quite good today. I'll admit, even Bartkowski has been okay.
Giordano looks really good. I love the way he forces McDavid into bad angles.

I bet the Flames will win on Saturday.

[DropIt]

So if we get shut out and then Brouwer scores the teams firstin game two that would be identical to tlast year, no?

Depressing.

This team not an old jagr away from being a real contender.

[dammage79]

Offense? OFFENSE! We don't need no stinking offense!

Jagr is going to do f all

Just another slow player to add to our slow pathetic game

[EM11]

But I thought all the Flames worked out harder than ever, got bigger, faster, and stronger from their amazing summer fitness regimes. How can this happen?

Yup Glass came to play today and did his job.

[Rejean31]

Giordano shoots the puck in and not 1 Flames player in on the forechecking. WTF???

bull ####.

Bennett is having a great game since the first shift. He could put Gaudreau Bennett and Ferland together.

Glass Brouwer and Bartkowski amomg others are not going to help you score goals down a game. He could bench them and double shift better players.

Brodie is standing around terrified of using his innate abilities. He could give him the greennlight.

Gulutzan does nothing. That's his schtick. He's Willie Deskardins 2.0.

I'll admit their 1st line is better. But outside of that? No way. Calgary has barely shown up tonight, aside from Smith. This is nowhere near the same Flames team we saw down the stretch last season. They're sleepwalking tonight, and there's no excuse for it. Embarrassing effort.

[Stay Golden]

Brodie why don't u just leave the ice

[Ashasx]

what is Brodie doing?

[Jeff Lebowski]

Someone rag doll caggulia. And break McDavid's ankle while they're at it.

[Scooter]

Get used to it!

[Machiavelli]

Why don't you sad sacks actually do something to defend Smith?

[djsFlames]

Never thought I'd say this but if Brodie's poor play continues might be worth looking at dealing him.

[btimbit]

Nice move by Hamonic to hide that puck under Smith

We pull smith and we take our best player off the ice.

This game is def going to be 3-0
