Tough one to swallow, but it really doesn't move the needle as to what the Flames needed before the game. They had to go 9-4? Well now its 9-3. Not like they were going to go 9-0 and then just drop the last 4 because they could.
Whether you think they have a shot or not, last night didn't really sink anything.

It may not have sunk anything, but it just made it a lot tougher.
In todays NHL, every team has a chance every night. There are no gimmies.
The Flames were allowed about 4 loses, and that became 3 last night. So, the odds became that much tougher. It moved the needle quite a bit actually.
