Worse Off. Flames Open the Season With Another Spectacular 5-2 Loss

Related Topics: Season, Where to begin?

If there was one game Flames fans didn’t want to see it was this one. Brand new squad, too many new players, same old problems.

Where to begin? Ah forget it, no post-game, not worth the time. Just some highlights.

  • In goal, couldn’t really blame Smith, but he let in 4.
  • The defence looked lost at times. The odd man rushes given up approached double digits.
  • Toughness is completely missing. can’t expect much for a team that got smaller. Also can’t expect Hamonic to fight out of his weight class all the time. Expect plug Prout to get into Saturday’s lineup in response.
