I think the team played poorly overall defensively for much of the game. There is a lot of blame to go around tonight, not just at the top line.

I think that since the top line has been ice-cold thus far outside the PP, they should have their minutes adjusted. Roll the first 3 lines evenly - maybe even the 4th as well since I don't think the 4th line really hurt the Flames tonight. The top line has been ineffective at generating offence so far, so let other lines that have been doing a better job offensively be rewarded with the extra shifts.

No point in overreacting to a loss. There is a lot to be disappointed with, but is definitely not the time to start jumping off bridges. Let's see how this team responds - after the Winnipeg loss, they responded very well. I expect the same tomorrow.
