Predicted the Flames would score first only to fall behind 4-1 and eventually pot a late one to make it 4-2.
Apparently even that was too optimistic. From the start the Flames were not confident and just plain scared of making a mistake tonight for whatever reason. There were moments where the team started to push the issue and you could see they had a better chance.
Other than that, really the entire team could not pull themselves out of the mud mentally and physically.
Irving played decent and for the most part made a number of saves when the team needed him. It just turned out that the team was relying on him heavily for basically 50 minutes of the game.
