Yea, I'm not mad either. Just frustrated. The Ducks will do that to you when they're on their game. Speed-wise the Flames can skate with these guys. But you can really see the difference between the two teams when it comes to size and skill. We've been winning lately, but we've also been playing a lot of Eastern teams. We knew the big test for this team would be against the powerhouses in the West. And you're really seeing the difference tonight between a young rebuilding team and a Stanley Cup contender. We've still got a ways to go before we're in the same class. We'll get there...and I think it'll be sooner than a lot of people think.
