Not sure why you are all hot and bothered when you recognize the play for what is and are in agreement with most here. Bonehead play cost them a valuable point. Player at fault happened to be Russell. I have yet to see a single person call for Russell to be benched, traded, or even a comment about whether he's truly a 2nd pairing defenseman. Flames simply have to be better than this against teams playing out the string. Hopefully they come back with a little more urgency against the Avalanche.
