But let's be realistic here, the Flames were the better team BY FAR until the 4-2 goal when they folded. It's tough to get motivated to play when your goalie lets in his first two shots of the period and 3 of the first 5 shots. Gaudreau and Bennett looked awesome. I think Hamilton is finally starting to come around. Monahan played good. I don't think Giordano was as bad as some of you thought he was. This is the second straight game our goalies have allowed 4 goals on their first 18 shots. It's a joke. There is absolutely no one else to blame in my mind. The weak (and in tonight's case, WEAK) goals are so deflating.
The first few games this year was a team effort. Now it looks as though everyone except our goalies have turned the corner.

I generally agree with this. The Flames did a tonne of good things through 2 periods and generated many more chances than the Habs, but they're having no luck putting pucks in the net, and absolutely everything is going in on them.
If you buy analytics, even through the game as a whole,
the Flames were the better team. IMO, they're working hard lately, and playing well in a lot of areas, but are lacking confidence and are just plain snake-bitten.
