Allen made some good saves, and their D got in the way of a bunch of great chances. But the Flames didn't show up to play 60 this afternoon - and they certainly didn't play enough to put 4 back.
A large chunk of this loss sits on Smith's shoulders. We know the offence is there to make up for it, but this game is 1-1 with Rittich in net - maybe even an easy W if you consider how back-breaking it is to play with that in net.
Easy to think this a pretty easy one to put behind them. Everything we saw today is something we know we have the answer to.
