The Flames played a large portion of the game seemingly in awe of the Pens, waiting to see what they would do and then react. That's a terrible way to play the game.
Not the end of the world, nice homestand and maybe a bit of a wakeup call to the team to not be complacent. They need to come out next game and be more assertive, dictate the game.
The fact this team is in a playoff spot today at this point in the season still astounds me, so I can't be too upset. Not the greatest game, move along. The Pens looked pretty good.
