I guess the positive to that is the majority of us are recognizing the Flames don't have even close to what it takes to make any noise in the Playoffs and are happy with poor play like this.

Most of the stat differential likely occurred in the first period. They played the best team in the league pretty even the second and third. They are playing with three defencemen who wouldn’t be in the lineup if the Flames were healthy. They had a lot of effort. That’s why it was a good game.
