Post-Game: So That Happened…

No, the above picture isn’t from the recent Flames loss to Dallas, but it might as well have been.
Tonight the reeling Flames were looking to break out of…
You know what? I don’t have it in me to do a a full review tonight. The Stars big line of Seguin and Benn came out and beat the Flames up at ES. Calgary’s goaltending was mediocre, but Dallas also had a lot of good looks at even strength. Flame of the game is, uh…Sven Baertschi because he was at least noticeable all night. Matt Stajan gets a mention for two goals.
The Flames started well enough this year, but reality is starting to sink in for this club. The roster is such that it can’t really sustain losses like Giordano and Glencross long-term and they still haven’t found an answer in net. Also, they aren’t a club that can afford to skate two below replacement level ruffians on the 4th line if they’re going to compete with good teams.
We all knew the rebuild was going to be rough at times. There was a lot anticipation and excitement heading into the season thanks to the change in direction, but we’re only now entering what will be a long winter. Hopefully there’s a nice spring awaiting the org on the other side.
