I got the bad feeling we will have a bad night then we won't get any help from that terrible team from the North against LA.

I can't really blame on Hiller on the lost but the first two goals was stoppable especially the first goal. Hiller seems to play crappy early in the game then he plays much, much better in the middle of the game and he seems to be challenging the shots. He made some great saves especially in the third period. I didn't see the Brandon Bollig boarding major penalty because I had to do something.What the heck happened? The PP goal St. Louis was actually the difference because the Flames couldn't recover from it. Steve Ott got away with slashing Hudler while the Flames are on a power play and down 2-1 with 1:40 left on the PP. Not sure if the referee saw it or they just put a blind eye but if the penalty was called the outcome of the game might be different.
Faceoff just plain brutal. Monahan got beat by Stastny so many times and so as the others like Backlund, Colborne, Stajan and Granlund. Need to improve the faceoff battle in the next few games. I did not see much of Granlund in the 3rd and even Engelland wasn't playing with Brodie much in the 3rd. I guess Hartley went with 3 lines. Oh we lost tonight and we are still 1 point ahead on both LA and Winnipeg. I actually predicted that we are going to lose this game so it doesn't sting much. 4 more games(2 games vs teams playing for McDavid sweepstakes) and 2 games against teams they are fighting for playoff spot. This is probably the most exciting finish for the Flames in a very long time. Last time they fought for playoff spot until the end and made it was in 2004.
