What's most frustrating about this slump is that the Flames have actually played some really good hockey in each game for long stretches, and they've had the lead in most of them. Not to mention our goaltending has been lights out just about every night (except tonight).
For the first two periods tonight, the Flames were playing a really strong game and were holding their own against the best team in the league. If they can just somehow get over that mental hurdle of learning how to hang onto a lead (and improving the PP), they'll be very tough to beat. We've got a good competitive roster here that honestly should be fighting it out for tops in the division. It's infuriating that they can't seem to get it together.
