Today was a very frustrating loss for a plethora of reasons:

- Couldn't win a faceoff worth anything
- Blues outmuscled the Flames on the boards
- Couldn't get a successful zone entry worth anything until it was too little too late
- Engelland and Wideman's inability to drive possession really killed the team tonight
- Super-soft goal on the first shot affected the rest of the game.
- Bollig's boneheadedness put the Flames on the PK to open the 2nd. Useless
- Should have had a 5-on-3 during the PP but the Refs decided slashes are legal
- 2nd PP Unit has been nothing short of brutal all season and it hit a climax today when Hartley felt he'd rather call a timeout than send them out
- Raymond continues to be terrible.
- Backlund had a crappy game, though I'm sure he'll bounce back.

The part that hurts in my opinion is that teams like this render our top line ineffective.
