What makes these last two games so painful is that we were well on our way to WINNING against the two best teams in the league, before absolutely blowing both of them.
I will say though, the Flames did look good even when they were down 3. Nice that they are finally trying Gaudreau on the right side on the PP (which despite his dominance in international play from that area, Calgary has rarely tried), and they were much better with their puck movement during the PP this game. Can't finish to save their lives though.
Agreed that Smith should have been pulled after the 5th goal at the very latest (and most likely the 4th), but with the weak goal that Rittich let in right away it's no guarantee that having him in earlier would have resulted in anything better.
