I must have been watching a different game. Flames were horridly sloppy - couldn't complete 2 passes (or even 1 sometimes) in the O-zone until later on in the 3rd period; gave away the puck over and over and over again; took too long handling the puck in their own zone (Smitty too!) and were lucky to be hanging on at the start of the third period. PP was atrocious - they should just go back to running their regular lines if that's what it takes.
They were full value for the last 10 minutes, and made more mistakes than a beginning driver in a rowboat for the first two periods.
Tiresome negativity? Really? You must have rose-coloured glasses, because the team that I watched came VERY close to losing that game until they woke up.
