People might think this is out in left field but that score flatters the Rangers. Sure we only got one but we had some great chances and this loss was an improvement on what we have seen so far this season. The Rangers are an excellent team and we just are not there yet. That's okay.
Not too worried about roster tinkering, lines, etc. right now. I AM worried about the team not playing with enough heart out there. I'm seeing Frolik, Gaudreau, and maybe Colborne playing with heart. But the others...where's the spark? Come on boys. We saw the comeback vs. Detroit and know that the Flames can do it, but it seemed like last night they just weren't in it. Seems like they have softened up mentally. They come out strong at the beginning of the period then kind of wither away as it goes on.
This team needs to go back to having some fun. Making it to the second round seems to have changed them mentally as they are putting too much pressure on themselves. Have some fun and enjoy the game like last season, and the fans will too.
