You don't try to take any conclusions out of a game like this. You gladly take the two points and move on to the next one.
Sometimes hockey just goes that way.
As for some saying Neal is bad, I might have agreed in the beginning of the season but I feel like he's turned the corner in the past week or so. He's still not getting rewarded with points but he's hard on the puck and getting some good shots in scoring areas. It's only a matter of time as long as he sticks with it. You can see he has that quick release and heavy shot that is hard to find. It's certainly rare among Calgary Flames' forwards. I suspect Neal will play an important role at some point this season we'll all be glad to have him.
