This is pessimistic, but that was just an unbelievably disappointing game that looked like it came right out of the 2020 playoffs.
We can be content with not being run out of the building, but the Flames should be dictating the pace in this series against the worst 5 on 5 team in the playoffs. Instead, you could barely tell we were the team down a goal with 5 minutes to play.
Every player looked off, but some more than others. It's no longer a coincidence.
Given how mentally weak this team has been in the last 3 years, I wouldn't be surprised if they don't win another game. You hope things will be different under Darryl, but through 120 minutes, you haven't seen it.
Enough of this "tight game that could have gone either way". It shouldn't be. Give this city a reason to get excited.
Don't do exactly what we feared you would.
