Slight improvement towards the end.

Had a chance to shake the rust off, no excuses now

He was ok, thought Lomberg player much better. I don't think he earned to start on the second line that's for sure.

Yeah, but we use them to try out PTO's until the last day instead of getting people to play together.

Not tuning in over the intermission to listen to more drivel.

I think the Oilers adrenaline is gonna wear off a bit now. Hopefully the boys can start to take over the game.

Engeland is getting rolled into the Grossmann hate but I actually him and Brodie looked fine.

This team looks like hot garbage. Nice to see things haven't changed much from last season. Shakey goaltending...check. Weak ass defense....check. No other forward support other than the top line.....check.

If the defence pairings are not back to normal by the 2nd period I'm gonna lose it.

It's almost like the top line didn't get a training camp together.

I'm already over Grossman. He can't play against a team this fast.

Grossman was responsible for the first 2 goals and has looked rather slow.

I think nerves and lack of practice as lines and groups really hurt the Flames there. They'll come out better in the second.

Honestly not surprised given the new coach and new system.

Gaudreau not being around for training camp hasn't helped much either, as he looks nowhere near game ready.

To compound things Elliot has looked shakey at best.

England was one of our best players this period.

First period in the books. 2nd and 3rd will be much better.
