Man, it is amazing how CP can not accept a loss and throws blame towards cliches. Fasth outplaying Kiprusoff and Anaheim's top end skill have little to do with the first two goals which were the game.

Remember the LA loss where everyone was talking about being outmuscled but the real problem was the Flames giving the Kings the perimeter and letting LA drift in to the high slot, watching the puck and not the man? And how were the first two goals scored tonight? Kiprusoff had little business stopping these.

Fasth had to contend with chances like Iggy throwing the puck in front and a reaching tip by Cervenka. It can work, but is more chance based than the Winnik goal where he is uncontested. Little control from the tipper, just hope the redirection goes in the right direction. Or Stajan in close, trying to stuff the puck in low.

Don't get me wrong, Fasth is good, but Kipper had to deal with worse defensive breakdowns. So many goals are scored by guys with time and space in the slot. Every goalie's nightmare.

The Flames played fine in a lot of ways. After being down 2-0 you have to press and can be exposed. I applaud Hartley for the philosophy of continuing to press and for his post game composure. It would be nice if CP could take a deep breath. It has become an odd place.
