I think what I was driving at was that neither team was good defensively last night. At all. It was a coaches nightmare on both sides. However, I think the flames did out chance the canucks 5-on-5 by a fair margin. Markstrom stood tall with several big saves, Smith had none. Flames couldn't hit a net.
It was a 5-2 in for the canucks and I honestly think only a small handful of players between both teams can actually be satisfied with how they played. It was entertaining but games like that from both teams are going to get them slaughtered by most of the league. I have greater confidence that the flames can put things together more than the canucks moving forward. Nothing is going to change the fact that Gudbranson, Pouliot, and Del Zotto are just really, really bad pretty much all the time.
