Flames had an abysmal night in a few ways:
- passing was poor; they keep trying to force passes on the PP when one (or two) guys are clearly between the passer and his target. That's just dumb hockey.
- D was in complete disarray too often
- forwards were unable to generate traffic in front of the net and when they did, shots from the blue line were blocked 10' from the shooter; closer-in shots were almost all directly at the goalie
- and the fumbling with the puck, falling over everything...yah the ice was crappy, but the Bruins managed
No attention to detail tonight and nobody can blame the refs. Well Boston could. I thought some of the PPs the Flames got tonight were a bit "generous".
