Hard to take any positives out of that game.
Regarding Taylor, two of the goals were from Flames fire sale in their own zone, the third a seeing-eye puck and the fourth a stinker when the game was out of reach anyway. Despite everything I thought his play was fine and I like his composure. The rest of the team was the problem tonight.
If Feaster had a deal lined up for Iginla I'd say it's time to pull the trigger. First time I've ever put that into print. He's become such a predictable perimeter player - skate down the side boards, stop, try to stick work past the checker and make a pass through two other defenders. Can he even drive the net anymore?
