That was easily one of the worst periods I've seen from this team all season. Embarrassing effort.
It's basically a tale of two teams tonight. First half of the game the Flames looked like world beaters and were in complete control, and the Avs looked like they had tuned out for the night.
Then Tkachuk takes a dumb penalty, Colorado grabs the momentum and suddenly the Flames just collapse like a cheap tent, get sucked into more penalty trouble, and the whole thing just goes to hell. Is it a coaching thing? Is it the leadership? I just don't get it.
