Frustrating game to watch, but also shows you how important it is for the team to buy in to the system and structure play. The Leafs have more high end talent and skill but it wasn't the skill that beat the Flames, it was the structure and system. While the Leafs are struggling right now, you can tell they are still playing to their structure. That's where the Flames need to get to and as Darryl says, that's going to be a work in progress.

Flames had trouble gaining the zone and moving through the neutral zone, that's not all on a lack of talent, that's the Leafs. The Leafs shut down McDavid and Draisatl so stopping the Flames should have been a walk in the park.

A few bounces the other way and the Flames could have got an extra point or stolen 2. While they were outplayed both games, it wasn't as bad as the last time they were in Toronto and Rittich stole them 3 points.

If you consider the Leafs and Oilers as the class of the division, well the Flames split these 4 games with them and they aren't near where Darryl wants them to be yet. So that's an optimistic view of things.

How the Flames fare against the Sens in the upcoming two games will tell us if they have righted the ship at least in the proper direction. They have to win both games and convincingly and they have to win the series against the Jets.

Can't really lose out on any points against the Sens, Habs and Canucks from here on out, especially since it looks like they will have a hard time sweeping any series against the top 3 teams.
