That’s the thing. This wasn’t a “rested” Flames team that had a couple days off prior to this game.. It was still their 3rd game in 4 nights coming back from an Eastern road trip.
This wasn’t the Predators game where they were dominated for 40 minutes. The game was pretty even overall.
Really the big thing is they need to cut out the just horrible mistakes like the play by Mangiapane on the first goal. And in terms of the mental mistakes, and the team not being crisp (passes into the skates) that looks a lot like a tired team to me.
Team can probably really use a break and a couple days of actual practice, which I doubt they’ve really been able to have due to the schedule.
