Debating whether the goalie should have saved each individual goal is pointless.
The bottom line is this: the Flames have lost the goaltending battle in all 10 games - even the 2 prior wins.
When you continually lose the goaltending battle, your team is dead.
4 goals on 18 shots simply isn't good enough
