Edmonton Oilers stumble in season opening loss to Calgary Flames. The Edmonton Oilers were rolling through two periods with a 3-0 lead over their provincial rivals that started to dissipate on the back of a few, isolated mistakes that ended up in the back of the net. Host Nick Zararis breaks down the Oilers first game of the regular season, including debuts for David Tomasek, Matthew Savoie, Ike Howard and Alec Regula. Nick also hits the nature of a long season and why one game, as painful as the loss was, is only the start of a long journey.
