The game story didn't seem to be the right venue for optimism in a 4-1 loss, but I liked a lot of things about last night's game.
You can't get too excited about a team pushing when they're down, because it's expected. But the Flames really transition and attack in a much more dangerous manner compared to previous seasons. Last night was about mistakes again, not about system or talent. The Jackets are a good team and they could have won even if Calgary was air tight, but the individual mistakes in the past two games have crept back in and has kept them from either winning or at least gaining a point or two.
Still like the product overall.
