Only thing more embarrassing is the over reaction to one loss. Had you told me we’d go 3-1 to the Oilers so far before game 1 and gain 3 points on them in the act I’d have taken it in a heart beat. The calls to blow up a team currently in a playoff position are embarrassing. This team requires some moves no doubt, but the fan base clearly isn’t mentally tough enough to deal with the highs and lows and the tiny margins of difference between teams in today’s NHL.

Tonight was a write off early on. I think some vets like Lucic are more intense in games where it makes a difference. The other thing was that the blowups tended to happen without him on the ice, and he’d risk suspension by jumping off or starting something later. But I’d have liked a couple nasty hits.
Really, the Flames just didn’t have it tonight. I think they need a change and are waiting for the big trade they think is coming.
