I hope they realize this and put a LOT of work in at practice. Last thing we need is them to think this kind of effort will fly against teams like Van or Chicago.
The ability to take advantage of your opponent's mistakes is a huge part of the game. No team is perfect for 60 minutes. I felt the Flames were the better team for the majority of this game, but that is certainly arguable.

Vrbata and Hanzal? Cry me a river. The Flames are missing Kiprusoff and a legitimate NHL center on a team with 2 legitimate NHL centers. Maybe that's why Phoenix was even in this game to begin with.
