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.

fair enough, last night wasn't an example of a game where the loss could be pinned on a lack of effort. The canucks are a bigger and faster and more skilled team. They were able to dominate the open ice and dominate along the boards. The flames were doing just fine given what the roster is. Was it their best game of the year, nope, not even close. Was it their worst game, not by a fair margin.
If a good team matches the flames effort, the flames will lose. That's just a consequence of the roster in place.
