I hate this narrative. Sorry, I know you're trying to avoid the negativity lol.
It does matter how it looks. Sure, this is a results-driven business, but the way the Flames played is not a recipe for long-term success. You ask any professional Coach in any sport, they're going to want to see how the team is playing. It's part of the process.
Now if the team was gutting out a one goal win or OT loss on the 2nd night of a back-to-back where the team had generally been playing well? That's a different story, as good teams need to find ways to win or accumulate points even in off nights, but the Flames are not that. We were playing poorly coming in, and we managed to get 3 out of 4 points playing just as poorly for the most part.
