Think they have just given up, if they are stuck in Winnipeg.

We've been conditioned! I'll be happy if we aren't down by 2 goals 10 mins in.. lol

And no goals by Kyle Connor. I have an irrational dislike of him and he seems to own the Flames.

Who breaks the seal on scoring for the Flames?
Let the Coronato era begin!

We should expect the team to struggle for the first 10-15 games of the season because of the coaching change. Still, GFG!

Puck hasn't even hit the ice yet and the negativity has started love it.
Markstrom sucks, it wasn't Sutters fault blah blah.
Why not just enjoy a fresh new start and see what happens.

I hate to ask. But what's our record on opening night again? I feel it's like 3 wins and 2,567,821 losses

You're probably remembering 2010 - 2021. We almost set a North American sports record.
Quote:
The last time the Calgary Flames got off to a good start, Matthew Tkachuk was playing peewee hockey in St. Louis.
His father, Keith, was still an NHLer.
So was Miikka Kiprusoff, who outdueled Roberto Luongo for the Flames’ last opening night win, sealed by a Brandon Prust winner, a Dion Phaneuf empty-netter and a 29-minute effort from Jay Bouwmeester.
The year was 2009.
The club has since embarked on a dubious run of 11-straight opening night losses, shattering the previous NHL record of seven held by the Minnesota North Stars and Buffalo Sabres.
It is the longest active streak in the four major sports, three ahead of the Indianapolis Colts.
In fact, it’s just two opening losses away from the all-time record shared by the Memphis Grizzlies (2001-2013) and the Cleveland Browns (2005-2017). Chasing the wrong side of sports history.
