Lots of positives to take away from the win. #1 has to be Markstroms strong game. #2 for long term confidence I think it was important Huberdeau-Lindholm-Mangiapane start strong with points. #3 the pairing of Weegar - Zadorov is dynamic and could supplant Andersson - Hanafin as the top pairing, but am probably reading too much into the first game of the season. Bonus was Ruzicka coming up big early in the game on the huge first 2 goals.

We’ve game! deny that thou bear'st love to Schuff or Helly,
Who for Calgary’s game art so unprovident.
Grant, if thou wilt, thine signed Jets beloved of many,
But that Weegar none lovest is most evident;
For thine Jets art possess'd with many forward dudes
(Dinnae shove thou stick in thine guts and perspire).
Seeking to blow thine beauteous roof off Jetted broods
Thine Bud Zone deletion should be thy chief desire.
O, change thy thought, that I may change my mind!
Shall our Calgary hate be fairer lodged than gentle love?
Thine Lurching new captain is gracious and kind,
And KFC’s crispy crust fits like a grease-coated glove:
JoMo - make thee another high-scoring self, for love of we,
That icy beauty still may live Peg-born in thine or thee.

Seems no matter how much we turn the roster over, we play the same. Has Paul Coffey actually been coaching this entire time?
Quote:
That sucked.
I'm not even mad really. I dunno. I completely understand people venting their valid frustrations all game though.
You'd like to see the team come in prepared and ready and they sure as f*** were not.
Just an abysmal effort.
Quote:
This is possibly the worst effort I’ve ever seen from any team in the first game of the season.
What f***ing team no shows in game 1? ESPECIALLY when all they did all off season was talk about how they won’t dick around to start the year again this year. Some teams are ####ty and get beat, but who no shows?
To call it embarassing is an understatement. Reality check badly required for a group that no matter what can’t not f*** around October - December.
This game from the defense as a group was as bad as I ever remember any Oiler team having. The 2011 Oilers defense probably didn’t have a game this bad. Unless Ekholm’s leg is broken he needs to be in the lineup so the rest of these p***yes can work their way into the season like they always need to do.
Quote:
I’m so excited!!!! Only three more days until the start of the regular season which begins on Saturday, October 14th at 8:00pm and no earlier.

Well that was brutal, absolutely brutal. Team needs to be ready when a game starts.
Really hoping Holloway is not hurt.
Everybody needs to take a long hard look in the mirror. We'll beat them on Saturday!
Quote:
Just goes to show all the off season talk was, as per usual, empty platitudes and a whole lotta hot air. They're prepping their hang dog, glum expressions and talking about being better... not a damn thing changed with their mentality, to a man.
No accountability from that room, coach on down.
Quote:
Don’t want to over-react because it’s game 1 but it’s the same #### we’ve seen the past season. If this was game 83 of 2022-23, we’d all be saying the same thing

I liked lots of players' game today. Younger guys were good. And the top players showed up when the team needed.
Coronato has a great vision and IQ. When he adjust his timing and speed he will be our main scorer for sure.
Fourth line was good and I think they have great potential.
Markstrom was good! Team still a little bit wobbly but they got the W. I thought Coronato was going to have his first goal for sure on that PP opportunity
you either win or you lose...shoulda, woulda, coulda is worth zero points at the end of the year. That is a BIG 4 point game against a team that will likely be in the race near the end.
I get the sense Huska will reward players doing the rights things as opposed to Sutter playing head games and then put player in max pressure situations. The puck movement in the offensive zone is already a massive improvement over last year where it was all low percentage shots from the perimeter.
Wow what a strange game that was, definitely different from what we typically saw last season. The Jets looked absolutely dominant for a lot of the game, out shot and out chanced the Flames badly, but Markstrom was outstanding and willed the team to victory. So that’s a big positive that Jacob can build on.
Thought Mangiapane was the best skater in red tonight. Looks like he’s carrying over from that great second half of last season where he was one of the best Flame skaters.
The rest of the team were pretty underwhelming to varying degrees, but no point in over analyzing from an individual standpoint as it’s only game 1.
Looks like there’s an Interesting new strategy with the defensive schematics though. Definitely more passive in the Dzone akin to Ward/Gulutzan rather than Darryl. We’ll probably see a lot more shots against, but with more emphasis on protecting the house I guess.

Considering that Huska was saying the team turned over the puck too many times in the defensive zone, I wouldn't even be sure of more shots against. I think that will settle down once they can just play the system instead of thinking about each move.

That was a good game.
The Jets arent Chumps, they're likely looking to be a playoff team this year and just committed hard to their core.
And its not like the Flames walloped them or anything, that game was tight right to the end.
That was actually a pretty decent test of both sides. I'll take it.
