The team was so poorly coached last year that it’s just weird seeing the Flames score first, maintain possession, not only getting more shots on net but more quality scoring chances. So far they haven’t panicked or folded when the momentum shifts. They support each other at both ends of the ice. We are playing an assertive game for a change. It was tiring watching them chase every single game. The power play is actually fluid and more effective. The players respond!…there’s no more free crease crashing, players will stick up for one another. We are actually standing teams up at the blue line and entering their zone isn’t such a struggle with that bloody overused backpass they would advertise every entry. 
 

Yeah…we sucked a lot last year. Should have been sponsored by Dyson
 

 

 

Well said.  It's what I am seeing.

this team iis play alot more though as a team together not trying to leave it all on one person

 

I don't love the 2nd and 4th lines, but they are solid.

Mange and Coleman stand out on their respective lines.

Dube no slouch.

Backlund is solid and just needs to tighten up the screws.

Pitlick is an interesting player; he may never score 20, but he will help stabilize the line.

It’s crazy to think this organization was trending toward burying/trading Kylington and never really giving him a proper look. Would have been a Sam Bennett situation 2.0. Kylington has been very solid, we definitely lacked mobility and dynamism on the back end 

 

Whiile Kylington has never been solid in all situations, he looked great in pre-season.

He deserved to get a game 1 start, but he worked his way into the lineup.

 

Lucic with the snipe.

Bwahaha

What a great road trip! 10 pts!!! For once this mantra of the Flames playing poorly in October and starting the season slow is done! Playing some very solid hockey so far, hopefully this translates to home ice! Markstrom signing is looking quite nice right now! Keep going!

 

I don't get too up or too down on game sets.

We have a long roadie after a 5 game home stand.

Every game matters

You mean Edmonton is paying Neal to play in STL and paying Lucic to play in Calgary!? Weird that.

 

He's making a nice paycheck considering he's a bum.

I laugh at the Lucic trade every now and then.

We get a guy that hits and fights and EDM gets stuck with the bill for that douchebag.
