Just not the start to the season that any of us saw coming.
Like the previous two victories over Vancouver and Philadelphia the Flames were not the better team early but escaped with some bounces and some goaltending. The Oilers scored two additional goals in the first half of the game but had them both overturned; the first for goalie interference, and the second for an offside.
That gave the Flames a chance to find their game, and like they did in their previous two games, they were the better team the rest of the way in picking up a 4-1 victory.
