You can start playing any time, Flames.

[Kaine]

Flames look beyond slow and out of sync. Pretty frustrating to see another lackluster effort on opening night. Smith is in full beast mode, looking great so far.

[Jeff Lebowski]

Get through the ice and get the zone please. Generate something. Stop giving it to the so easily.

[MoneyGuy]

boring game

[kukkudo]

Mix up the lines!!

Immediate pk mode. Yet on offense the oil pressure the puck to win it back

[Mass_nerder]

Man, this has been some of the most choppy play I can remember seeing from the Flames.
Can't complete a pass, and it feels like they're losing most puck battles.

Can easily do it to start each period.

I wouldn't say handful. Brouwer has easily been either the first or second worst player on the team today. Either him or Glass probably.

[Rejean31]

Do not let these ####wads shut us out!!!

[Stay Golden]

Boy that was a Greasers favorable drop of the puck there

[direwolf]

I have zero confidence right now that the Flames' offence can even generate a high quality scoring chance, let alone score a goal. Brutal effort tonight, especially from the 1st line. The boys are asleep at the wheel.

I think most fans with this line of thinking need to start realizing that the Coach isnt opening up practice with "Lets break out slow and painful tonight!"

I'd be willing to bet the Flames are struggling to play the system vs the system being poor

[GullFoss]

gross yAMAUMOTOTOTO thyat mouth guard fell on the ground. at least since it off first

[Flashpoint]

Karma for Smith saying the Coyotes couldn't score?

[JurassicTunga12]

Smith was the only one to come and play.
Why can't these guys get up for the Battle of Alberta?

[dammage79]

Why are the 4th line guys getting a D zone start? they dont need any help getting hemmed in.
