Tonight they simply weren't ready to match Colorado's desperation. Maybe they got a bit too smug with themselves after the win on Thursday. Who knows? Bottom line is they know they have to be better, and they've proven all year that they can storm right back after a lackluster game. I fully expect them to come out flying in game 3.

They better be ready the next game. Going down 2-1 in a series is never a good thing for any team.
It was also a concern when the total giveaways by the flames was 20 tonight, while the Avs had 13.
