Refereeing was pretty gross too though.
This team still has some upside, I firmly believe that.
Credit to MacKinnon and Rantanen, they felt like Crosby and Malkin out there.

Uh..OK. That is a pretty crappy take. Smith was fine tonight...not one of those goals can be blamed on him...none were soft or even really stoppable. D was awful. O was worse. Johnny worse than both put together. The only person on the Flames smiling tonight is Neal. (He would have saved them, no doubt...in his mind.)
