This is the kind of lost that won't upset me. The effort was there and they practically dominated the 3rd period. If it wasn't for the Anaheim goalie, Flames would have score at least a goal or two. I like the hustle and I thought Backlund's play is so much different from the past few season. He is feisty and doesn't seem to back down. Jackman was a butthead in taking that penalty. He should thank Stempniak and the rest of PK guys for bailing him out. Hartley should show Butler the video replay of McGrattan's mistake before and his mistake. That way he'll know where NOT throw the puck. I think Big Joe is starting to improve that's why Hartley warranted him with some extra ice time. Now that MacDonald lost a game, I think Hartley will try Ramo again vs San Jose. He seems to ride the hot goalie so Ramo better play well next game.
