Bad bounces, bad penalty calls, will happen to every single team. Where the Flames just aren't getting it done is taking advantage of gamebreaking situations. After the 2nd period they had they should've been up or at the very least carried that play forward into the third. They played not to lose...so they lost. At no point in the third did the team look like it was saying "we're winning this game". That's why they're coming home down 2-0.
