I don't care who you are playing, if you are not and cannot prepare before a game, every team in this league is likely to beat you.

the break is stupid. not just for the flames, but for every team. how can you justify having a week where you can't practice or prepare your team? especially in the latter part of the season. it's idiotic.
flames coaches and players deserve blame, but the break deserves more.
you could argue the coaches did have the team ready to play, going by the first period.
but then the heart went out of them the last two periods. that to me is more on the players and on ice leadership.
