Yeah. I'm starting to wonder if the Flames spend too much time dawdling around with nobodies who won't make the final roster, trying to get "reads" on people, instead of spending the preseason getting ready for game 1.

The fact that we haven't won a season opener since, what, 2009? would certainly attest to this. I can't remember the last time we had a good start to a season.

It's not panic time, but there is some cause for concern.

Gaudreau not signed, nothing has been done about the Speical teams, everything just seems like a mess now, it is going to be a long year. With the expansion draft coming, hopefully we can score a top 6 forward or a top 4 D and the addition Nolan Patrick will also help.

Wideman so good at shooting the puck right into people that he might have injured Shinkaruk

2009-10, we were 5-0 to start the season I believe.

Troy Stetcher is averaging more than 23 minutes a night in the preseason? Crazy.

A $5.25 million cap hit and a No Movement Clause.

Because he has a contract and no trade clause? Silly question.

Johnson had no chance on that second goal.

How'd that work out?

I would be interested to see our combined record in the first 10 games of the season since 2006. I bet we're below 0.500, and there were some good teams in that span.
