Last night was likely the worst effort the Flames have had since they blew the team up in 2013. A lot of players sucked and it was a wake up call to the room I hope. The team has expectations from outside the room they will be good and Vancouver was going to suck. A couple minutes into the game the Flames looked pretty good and then it fell apart. They need to get back to the effort that won them games last year. The talent is improved but this is not a team that can win lazy games due to superior talent. They still need to outwork their opponents. Saturday's response in Vancouver will go a long way to seeing if this team has the same character that drove them to the second round last year
