That's more like it ... sort of.
Flames win 7-4, with 2 empty netters near the end of the game from Czarnik and Frolik to secure the game.
Tkachuk had a 4pt night, Gaudreau, Gio, and Lindholm 3pts each, Lindholm with 2 goals looks like an absolute stud on the first line.
Was a close game for most of it, mind you, it was 5-4 before the two empty netters. Smith made one absolute monster save to keep us in, and that's all the good I can really say about him tonight unfortunately. I absolutely love Smith, and I know it's only 2 games in, but these sub-.900 save percentages are getting to be troubling. He sat at .667% for a lot of the game before muscling back to .800, which is still not great, especially considering the opponent. I'm confident he can get back and it's good we were able to outscore what he let in regardless, but it's not a great start.
It can't all be blamed on Smith, Pettersson was really good yet again, and for both of his goals he was left wide open. Defense need to do a better job keeping star players at bay.
Oh well though, a win is a win, and this was about as exciting as it gets. Some other good news, we had 3 ... count 'em ... THREE powerplay goals tonight!
