It was nice that the Flames pushed back and stole a point. It was awesome seeing Berra keeping them in a game they had no business being in (first time this season a goalie has at least stolen a point?). Some players had some great moments for sure.
Was sickening to see them coming out this lax on home ice, however. Terrible effort in the first two. However, even great teams sometimes come out sputtering like this once in a while. I would be more concerned if this was starting to be a habit with them. Hartley's biggest and most important job is to not allow bad habits to form during this rebuild.
Outcome was better than I expected though, and once in a while the hockey gods throw a point or two your way.
