Most of that is on the coach. They're unprepared, lack enthusiasm and only really get charged up when they get a goal (but are behind) or when...yah, when exactly?
They'd better come out flying and thoughtful tonight and play as we know they actually can...tight, fast, hard hitting, quick short passing plays, good smart D.
Sadly, I expect the opposite. Scotch and bourbon are at the ready.

Key words. Lacklustre efforts.
I can deal with a loss to a basement dweller. I can barely deal with a loss to Vancouver or Edmonton. Barely. Junk like that will happen from time to time.
What really gets me going is when the Flames lose, to anyone, because they clearly didn't put in a full 60 minutes effort. It isn't just this year, or just this week that this has been happening. It has gone on for a few years now and it is frustrating.
