Yeah, I haven't seen that from the Flames late in a game this season. Not once.
Doesn't mean that can't happen in the last stretch with enough emotional investment and buy in from all the guys, but it's a bit concerning because in the past it was not uncommon to see the team snatch points from impending defeat in the dying minute/s at least a few times a season. It's better to not get behind to begin with, but those games happen. Would be encouraging to see some resolve similar to what the Kings showed tonight.
