I’m not sure it has necessarily damaged their psyche, but it’s definitely damaged the team in the standings. The team really needed to win that game or at least get a point vs Minnesota as the Sharks have no surpassed the Flames in the standings and are in the driver’s seat.
Also, all the points Mike Smith cost the Flames early in the season have caught up with the team. If the Flames had those extra points on San Jose right now, we wouldn’t be in a position of chasing right now. Las Vegas looks extremely poised for another cup run and the likelihood of them bouncing us out of the playoffs is a lot higher than if we played a Minnesota, Arizona or Colorado in round 1.
