Yeah I think playing from behind early and needing to claw back most the game made the Flames vulnerable to the rope-a-dope.
They're so good, smart and responsible when playing with the lead. Take less chances and stifle the other team. Smith did his part in the L, but the Flames seemed bent on taking more chances to try to beat Dubnyk and they had the second best goalie on the ice by a fair margin when trading third period rushes.
