I know its still the beginning, but now I expect playoffs from them and in turn, expect to see a team that isn't consistently flat-footed.
I'm glad to see Mike Smith is starting to look in pristine shape, but now its also exposing our scapegoats. We need to show that we can keep the puck in the O-zone now that we have a (seemingly) lock down goaltender (or more than we are used to). But for right now its almost as if Jagr is one of our younger players. Pre-season/warmups are over!
Also, anyone else sort of have a feeling the passing and puck control is horrendous? Watching other teams it looks like all they're O-zone break-ins and neutral ice movement have risk-less, solid passing but every time a puck leaves a flames player stick, I'm suddenly worried that its going to bumble or turnover!
Hopefully its just early adjustments still, but for a team that I'm building expectations with, this isn't comforting...

This is not a robbery, I swear!
I feel compelled to make another overeactionary Flames suck thread that's ends up being right at the end of the season to help justify my anger towards this team.

Still not sold on Glen. I would be disappointed too if he doesn't change things up if nothing happens. I also think Brodie has really suffered under him.

Yes. The control with which we break out and break in was hopelessly lopsided against Edmonton. It's the most consistent hallmark of when this team loses. I think (obviously) it isn't a talent issue, but rather a matter of where people are positioned to support each other.
Also, holy dive by Petan.

I take that comment back, Brodie is the only one scoring. Though he defensive game has looked a bit suspect.
