Said this in the game thread but Carolina is a damn good team. Top five defence and talented forwards with some jam.
Sometimes it's not that the Flames lack "effort" (hate that term) but that their opponent is running over them. Such was the case tonight.
Anyway, pick up and move on, but flames continue to get killed in the advanced stats game which is concerning. There is some pretty bad crud on the bottom end of the roster. Something contending teams don't typically have.
Stone for example CF of 6%? Holy crap that's terrible. If your bottom pair is that much of a liability over a season you're a legit pretender.
