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.

The worst of it was at the beginning of the game and the first half of the third. Have to give the Canucks some credit for clogging the neutral zone when they had the lead.
Still not the best game from the Flames, I agree.
Good thing two of our youngest stars came up clutch
