I hope everyone has calmed down, but I'm not counting on that.
Guys, the bad line change was the mental lapse that cost the game. Almost everything outside of that, the Flames played well or weathered the storm. They didn't score on a 5 on 3. Unfortunate, but guess what? The Ducks didn't score on their 5 on 3.
The Ducks are a good team and well coached. Were you expecting the Flames to dominate a good team for 60 minutes? Good teams play well at home, people really need to back away from the ledge.
The Flames were edged in a tight contest, and will regroup. Some obvious areas need to be improved like face offs, but in other areas they played really well.
I'm definitely sad and mad we lost, but no one has gone 16-0 in the playoffs.
Onward!
