Calgary Flames Daily: Nervousness settling in early
After some pre-season games last night, nervousness is already settling into Calgary Flames fans. Let’s check out some Flames news.
We were excited to say “It’s game day!” yesterday, but I spoke too soon. The Calgary Flames had their split-squad games last night, both against the Edmonton Oilers. Half the team was in Calgary and half was in Edmonton. But unfortunately, the Flames didn’t win either game.
They lost 5-4 in Calgary and lost 5-3 in Edmonton. And with the refs cracking down on slashing on the hands, the Flames in Edmonton had a big number of minor penalties. 12 of them, to be exact. They spent almost half the game just sitting in the sin bin.
