Another season, another slow start. Might as well prognosticate losing in the Honda Center this season as well. It's not that nothing ever changes, but the Flames are simply consistent in many of the wrong areas.
Positives this game:
Smith
Bennett
Glass/the fourth line
Negatives:
The first line
Brouwer
Gulutzan - why won't he reward good performance with better linemates for Bennett is beyond me. I'm not saying throw every line into the blender. But simply put, why are they trying something that is clearly not working during a losing game? I know he can coach better than this but this is simply stubborn at best.
Also, McDavid is a driven kid and that speed is just absolutely beyond belief.
