And the wait for it won't be long, as the two clubs will square off again Monday at 12:30 p.m. for a pivotal Game 2, with Game 3 to follow the following day at 4:45 p.m.
Although the Flames drew first blood, there is still a long, hard battle left to put the series away and advance to the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
"It's important to have a short memory, especially when it's a best-of-five," Dube said. "We reset right away and know we are going to get their best (Monday) and we need to be ready for that.
"They don't want to go down 2-0, they are going to come out strong so it comes down to who will want it more. There is no denying how dangerous they are - we need to raise our play up a notch each time out."
One thing the series will certainly continue to have is energy.
With each goal, save, or big hit, the benches were rocking Saturday night.
No crowds, no problem.
"We need that as a momentum builder," explained Dube. "When the bench is in it, that's all you can hear and it was electric last night. When the guys are up and excited that creates a ton of energy and usually you can't hear that with the crowd. It's a big motivator hearing your teammates get hyped up like that.
"It adds a lot of atmosphere and it will only grow going forward, which is exciting."
Although the post-season qualifying series is just a day old, you wouldn't be able to tell when you see the beard and hair that Dube is currently sporting.
He's looking pretty scruffy already.
"Last time I shaved was our last game in March," he laughed. "I never had a beard and I kind of wanted to feel my age. I had the belief we would back playing so thought might as well get the beard and hair going and here we are.
"I'm competing with Benny for sure but I might need to find extensions to compete with him. I have to give him credit how quick he is able to get that growing but I'll try and give him a run for his money.
"Hopefully it gets a lot longer because that means we'll be playing for a while."
