We knew the Flames would not go undefeated under Darryl Sutter, right? Well, maybe a small part of us did, we just dare not speak it into words. That slight, misguided idea was obliterated last night.
Getting embarrassed by the Oilers on national television is sure getting old real fast.
Game flow
Getting behind early, inability to dictate play, poor puck management, and falling apart when things go bad… old habits.
Things were looking okay. The Flames had some really strong 5v5 stretches in the second and the game was within striking distance but it seemed every time they got rolling, the progress was erased by a bad penalty or a horrendous turnover (all leading to goals).
