Although it's game one of the season and it counts in the standing it's still essentially preseason as it's the first time the entire roster is playing together and on desired lines. It's kind of important not to overly worry about individual performances so early in the season but even if you stumble out of the gate you ideally don't want to have worse than a .500 record after the first ten games because the Flames kind of proved last year that there is some merit about teams being in the playoffs at the 1/4 mark of the season make the playoffs. Important not to fall too far behind the 8-ball.

It was a wakeup call for the Flames. Effort is what got them EVERYTHING last season.

They need to know that effort is the key ingredient to success.

I don't think the line combinations were the issue.

I also think Vancouver executed their gameplan way better than the Flames. There were so many odd man rushes caused by shutting the Flames down in the neutral zone.

Is there any way for this forum to make a trade? 'Cause I wouldn't mind swapping out Ricardo for Crazy Bacon Legs. CBL is much better at filling the ‘hahaha what did I just read?’ role.
