There was every reason that score should have ended up how it was.

I'm not counting the last 2 Wings goals. Brodie was on the ice for 5 of the 6 goals against. Hamonic 4 of 6.
And while the Wings did clearly let up, the Flames dominated both the 1st and 2nd periods in terms of scoring chances and high danger scoring chances.
The special teams were awful, yes, and I even acknowledged in a previous post that we still might have ended up losing the game, but the point of my post that you quoted was that the person I was quoting said Smith wouldn't have fared any better, which is false considering Lack made 0 big saves.
Brodie, Hamonic and Lack were BY FAR our worst players last night. Absolutely no question about that.
