Yeah back to backs are tough, and this one was worse than most, but this is being made out as if they had to walk there. It would have been nice to see some fight but whatever, maybe the next game is when the Flames overcome adversity.

Roughly 245 gate to gate, not counting commute to and from the airports and wait time.
Advantages on road games prior to holidays is true, but when they say that it's generally not on the second night of a back to back like tonight. When one team is rested and one team is tired, there are obvious advantages. You think too much is being made if it? I never heard the excuse from players or coaches.
