I did read the entire post which started with "This was a hard fought game and a decent effort...problem isn't this game IMO".
Teams ramp up this time of year and whether they've lost the last 2 or 3 or won them, they compete, they play desperate, they show up on home ice, win or lose the effort and give a s*** meter is there. Do you honestly think what you witnessed tonight displays that from the Flames? Decent doesn't cut it and its been going on far to long with this franchise. Watch Wards post game, spot on with his comments. You want to win this time of year you need to get dirty, get to the tough areas to score goals and prevent them. The Flames didn't do that last year during the stretch run and they aren't doing it this year, when teams are ramping up the intensity.
Easy team to defend and easy team to attack. Not going anywhere with that type of team.
