On this hour of Flames Now, we break down Thursday night’s ugly home-opening loss to the Seattle Kraken. Pat Steinberg digs into why the Flames were so frustrated with their effort and where the team fell short. Then, the voice of the Flames, Derek Wills (@dwillsnhl), joins the conversation. Derek breaks down Simon Nemec’s impressive debut and explains why Thursday’s Flames looked nothing like themselves.
