I think that is just it, though: one of the problems with this group is that they often play down to their competition. In games against good teams the Flames have not suffered these sustained periods of defensive zone ineptitude like they did last night. In fact, the Flames played some of their best hockey this season without better results in their two games v. Toronto.
