not sure what people are so negative about the game for. Think back at the whoopings at the hands of the nucks over the past 5 years. Yesterday was a ok game by the flames. They got good goaltending, played a 'bend but don't break' type defense other than a few breakdowns, and destroyed a nuck also.
this is a rebuild, the nucks are a much better team pretty much to a man. The fact the flames kept it a 1 goal game for the most part was admirable.
I think the flames recent dip has been that the forward vets flat out suck of late. Stempniak/Cammalleri just look bad out there.
Good to see Berra playing well. He seems to do well when playing from behind, though would love to see him turn the corner and be more focussed when playing with the lead late in games.
