Gaudreau and Monahan looked like PP specialists the whole game. Exact same feeling than for the back-half of last season. Very worrying. If we can't count on them to provide anything at 5v5 it will be a long season. |

But : if the play on Laine's first goal reverts into a FatRas goal instead, we're probably not having the same conversation this morning. That's the definition of bad puck luck. |

Rick Ball jinxed it in the first period. |

The Flames of last year were not a resilient team.

I would definitely say we looked like a bubble team for the last 2 periods which isn’t necessarily bad but not necessarily good either, just alright. Only clearly bad thing was the lucic turnover but even outside of that he was pretty mediocre which isn’t terrible
One change I would like to see is put Mangiapane on the JG Mony line like Todd suggested in the last blog. Leivo looked good there but it’s evident they need an energy player to do the dirty work. Also a shooter like leivo would be a good add to that backlund line since it doesn’t really have one currently.
I would say all the new guys looked fairly good, stats aside I didn’t notice tanev much which given his style of play is usually a good thing and you can’t fully blame markstrom on any of those goals (although him playing the puck gave me terrible flashbacks from the mike smith blunders).
Lastly I’ll add that if Andersson can play like that every game he may propel himself to becoming one of the top D in the league in the next year or two. Giordano on the other hand I didn’t think looked great, but I’ll remain optimistic with him and the rest of the team in the hope that the worst of what we saw was just rust that will get knocked off as the season goes on |

Agree on Anderson, his game was great!
Just have to thank the Canucks for giving up that pick for Fartski! |

I personally thought Tanev was excellent and playing in the defensive zone was not a fault of his. Thank god we had him in the 2nd and 3rd in fact.
I did not think the Vali/Nesterov pair looked good at all.

Oh man if I have to be subject to Tanev getting ripped on every game thread this year I’m gonna just stick to reddit. He was far from our worst defenseman yesterday. Todd is a fvckin advanced stats simp. |

It is getting a bit annoying and honestly makes you wonder if he even watches the games?
