THE MAIN STORYLINE:
It's been the same storyline for their past four outings at the Saddledome ... The Flames are shooting to — FINALLY — earn their first home-ice victory in Friday's matchup with the Red Wings. Their current funk marks the first time in franchise history that the Flames have dropped their first four home dates of a new season. What's even more alarming for their faithful fans — and for GM Brad Treliving, bench boss Bob Hartley and the rest of the staff — is that the Flames haven't shown the relentless work ethic and never-quit mentality that was so key to their success last season.
