Good period. 1-0 on the road. Well coached game so far. 3rd period is Calgary's.

I'm not sure why I expected anything different in this season opener.

It's inexcusable how they are never ready for the first game.

They could steal this one, all thanks to Smith.

Another bad period by the Flames, although they were better in the second half of that period.

Flames need to pick it up significantly in the third if they want to not be embarrassed in yet another season opener.

I don't get it either. Every single season is the same story. Completely outplayed in the opening game.

The panel started off this intermission just where they started off the 1st intermission. Getting a chub for MCD.

LOL. Maclean notes the penalty. They all laugh it off.

Brouwer out there on an offensive zone face off with 30 seconds left.

I dislike our coach.

Over under on how many players they talk about this intermission? My guess is 1.

Flames seriously need to hang onto the puck and get the offense going in the 3rd. Just giving pucks away for no reason.

As slanted as the ice is towards the Oilers, incredibly tight game. Smith is answering all the concerns. What killed the Flames a bunch last year was conceding too many early (1st period) leads and trying to scramble back into the game usually down by a couple of goals. Looks like Smith will at the very least keep the team in it most nights.


Bright side, after 2 periods the Flame are still in it. Man we need more offense. Jagr and Janko and what else treliving ha up his sleeve cannot get into the line up fast enough.

I think we are playing pretty well for a road game. We are in this game and look the better team going into the 3rd

Stunned silence from the panel when calling McDavid not getting a penalty.
