I really hope this was a classic case of looking past the 3-10 team to the Leafs on a back to back.

I actually think there is enough individual talent on this team to mask awful games. Markstrom being number 1. Guys like Tkachuk, Gaudreau up there too. But just about everyone was garbage.

I find this, and the San Jose game kind of interesting. I think the Flames identity is already out there. You better be in for a hard working game, or it's not going to go well for you. Depleted teams like San Jose and Montreal are looking for anything to rally around, they're not going to out talent anybody so they're ready to dig in for a good hardworking game. Problem for the Flames was that they weren't ready for that same game. These 2 games and the Nashville game were polar opposites.

Really need to get back to it. They're in a weird funk.
