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.

From reading the comments the anger seems to come from the lack of effort. People seem okay with the losses but when playing at home to a rival (especially after laying a big steaming pile of dog crap the game before) fans want to at least see effort out of the players.
It is one thing during the rebuild to lose to the Canucks because their skill beats us and another thing to lose to them because we rolled over and did nothing.
