Overall Flames were very flat. It didn't help that Hiller gave up the soft goal on the first one. I knew when that happened it is going to be a long night since Arizona will bore the heck out of the opponent whenever they get the lead. No excuses but Arizona played a lot better than the Flames. The last three games Flames were outplayed after the first period and the goalie bailed them out. Tonight Hiller was just awful. Not looking forward in watching the rest of the season with Hiller on net the rest of the season. Hiller play much better in relief than when he starts. Flames are only less than 10 points to catch the 8th place team so there's still a chance. They have to start dictating the game and play discipline hockey for 60 minutes. Goalie also have to step up and steal the game.
