As good as they've been all season, the Flames aren't a playoff built team, and when things get chippy and whistles are largely put away, that shows.
Still, a pretty good effort against a damned good team by a bunch of guys who - on paper - have no business being in the conversation at this time of year anyway. Hopefully they rest up for the next one, because that's the level of intensity they can expect to play at for the rest of the year.
