The sad thing for me, is if the Flames would have shown the effort level of game one and the physical game plan of game 1, they probably win yesterday going away.
for a few years this team has shown a disturbing habit of starting tentatively, and playing down to their opponents.
They had an opportunity to put a skate blade on Winnipeg's neck and stomp it til the head came off. Instead they let the jets come at them and build all kinds of belief and momentum.
There are games that I watch where I don't feel that the opposition are a threat, the Flames are feeling it moments. I didn't have that last night even when the Flames fought back to tie it. I call this the Flames one foot on a banana peel one foot in a bucket of oil game plan. They were very much the later last night.
At some point does Treliving and not Ward have to have that heart to heart that if you like playing with the people around you its time to play for each other, because lose this series and the amount of changes coming in the off season will be large and off putting.
