Darryl said last year when he took over that this Flames team isn't talented enough to go toe to toe with elite teams and has to play a certain way to win games. Last night they didn't play Flames hockey and a far more talented team took them to the woodshed. That's going to happen at times over an 82 game season so no reason to hit the panic button. Also I feel the Flames still haven't hit their stride after that extended break as it took them about five games (5-1 win vs Rangers) at the beginning of the season for them to get the full team effort from all individuals.
