They were better though, overall.

yeah, i would agree with most of that. not having 2 top 6 forwards definitely hurts. the frolik chance (and the backlund post) might have swun it differently, but it seemed like the flames couldn't match washington pace and relentlessness overall.
you can't tell that much but what hurt us here is what usually hurts us (even when we win): our depth forwards and d. with a full roster they can usually execute a little better, but tonight they were exposed against an elite team in the league.
i really don't see what bartkowski (since he got on the roster) brings other than turnovers and fumbled plays. i'd really like to see andersson get a shot.
