On a positive note, Brodie looks great so far. Reminds me of 2014-15 Brodie.

Yikes, uncharacteristic series of mistakes by Backlund, overcommitment by Hamonic, and shot that sneaks through 5-hole on Smith.

Not a pretty goal!

Smith needs to be better. First shot on goal he lets in five hole. Sigh

Another chance given up by Smith attempting to play the puck.

MDZ and Gagner would have been real solid signings for the Flames knowing how poorly all the bubble guys have looked so far

Nilsson has already made two great saves. Smith needs to respond a little here.

Man, I hope we don't lose another season due to goaltending.

I may watch most of this game on mute. Garret is horrible.

I don't like the way we are staring games so far. I don't care if it's pre season.

Goaltending is the thing that makes me most nervous about this season. Smith's gotta sharpen up fast. Not just for goaltending sake, by how a team plays in front as a result of lack of confidence in the goalie.
