The Flames have just finished the preseason with a record of 2-1. After today's loss, Patrick, GM of the Flames made a few comments at his press conferece. "We still have a lot to work on though if we want to make the playoffs and be contenders". "We are close but there are still a few things we need to fine tune."
In the preseason the Flames managed to score 9 goals in 3 games and let in 8 goals as well. "The offense is definately there but we still need to find the right defensive pair matchings." Patrick was also very high on rookie Dimitri Kazionov coming into this season. "We believe that Kaz is going to be our best scorer and in a few years be a top 5 goal scorer in the league." Dimitri Kazionov is producing nicely with 4 goal, 1 assist and +2 rating. He also doesn't shy away from the physical play with 9 hits in 3 games.
The Flames have definately improved from last year. "Another aspect we are looking at developing is our farm team". "We finally have the young PRO team we have always wanted, which gives us the ability to develop our prospects slower and not rush them into the PRO league".
The Flames are on their way up and the future for the Flames has never looked so good.
