Awful way for the game to turn out. There's no such thing as a moral victory.
Having said all that, if you can't rest your head on points not earned, you can use the way the team is playing to guess the future. They're playing well now and that bodes well for the future. The first line is creating chances, the real first line is creating a ton of chances, and the D seems to be much more figured out.
I leave this game feeling pretty positive about the future with the Flames probably dictating play in Nashville and in Boston, who are very good teams on home ice. This is the team that can play well down the stretch and into the playoffs.
