LA played like a desperate team tonight. They were hitting anything that moved and especially keyed in on hitting Russell any chance they got. Hiller was good as was Ramo in the short time he was in.
Just wonder how many guys had flu or were recovering from it. This was the first game between the two this year where the Flames got physically manhandled. Game might have been different if the Flames could have established a forecheck. Next time we play them might want to have a few faster guys that can hit like Ferland or Wolf instead of Bollig and also Jooris instead of Stajan. Even those two substitutions would help drive the forecheck. Other than that not too worried as every team has a few games they are dominated in.
