So much bias here.

The same posters all the time blaming the same players all the time.

The Flames didn't lose this game because Tanner Glass and Matt Stajan was in the line-up. The Stajan line was arguably the best line for the Flames and the only line that showed up to play. Sure they got hemmed in their own zone a few times, but so did every single other line the Flames had. Hell even the commentators were saying that the top line was not generating any offense because they were defending against McDavid the whole night.

The Flames lost because Johnny Gaudreau, Sean Monahan, Matt Tkachuk, Backlund, Frolik, and Sam Bennett did not compete. One poster even blamed Ferland for the top line's struggle, yet he was the best player on that line and generated the only scoring chances and cycles.

When your best players aren't your best players, you will lose, it's that simple. The Flames "best" players no showed, yet some posters love giving them a free pass. These guys are paid to score yet they couldn't generate any offense, that is not Tanner Glass's fault.
