I don't like trying to win a game 1-0 anyways even when D.Sutter was here its nerve racking and the team has to play perfectly. Always flirting with near disaster and seldom does it work unless the team has Stalwart shut down D pairings and Wingers that are committed to help out.
That is not this Flames team so what the hell were the veteran Flames players doing and thinking for the last 40 min.
Hartley clearly does not want them to play that style. He has said it from game 1 right through to last night.
That wasn't Hartley that was old, old bad lazy habits from every player that has been here 4 years or more. Resting on their past 2 games of accomplishment.
The only player i would exclude from that would be Stajan he played hard.
Never mind the senseless lazy 9min of PP with 1 distance shot.
The last 2 periods the Flames had 9 shots that included 13 min of PP time.
