The Flames did play better anyways. It was good to see the first line going more, and the team is showing spirit in these games. I do wish that they would stay on the attack when they've got a lead though. It feels as though every time they get a lead they stop being aggressive and become content just to clear their own zone rather than keeping the play in Dallas's end.

The prevent defence worked against Winnipeg but just isn't working against Dallas. They need to adjust.
