Which happens, and has been recognized.
Some people however, fail to acknowledge that there is also an aspect that the Flames made them pay for that situation.
There are no excuses.
Last year, the Flames played 6 games in 9 nights, starting in Tampa and finishinig in Vancouver, with their 3rd in 4 nights (and finishing off a 12 in 21 stretch.) Going coast to coast and playing 6 in 9, they were, by the same standards, tired. They beat the Nucks 3-1.
Some fans can only find fault. Those that can find positives as well as the negatives apparently must also think that strippers are into them.
Also, every one of you that is saying the Hawks were tired would be all over anyone who claimed the Flames were tired in the same situation.
