Looking back, it's a good thing this game happened. At least Peters knows now first-hand how the Flames respond to pressure (Iginla night, Saturday night, in front of an almost sold-out crowd, facing a hungry wildcard team with a hot goalie and hot deadline acquisition, 7 straight wins prior, all that) thus far. The answer was the Flames kind of conceded to pressure tonight and it has to be fixed. The Flames played like Gulutzan was coaching them.
By springtime, I expect the Flames to at least respond to it differently. Hopefully.
What a coach.
