Too early to tell but 1 goal in 6 periods is cause for concern.
Also, blaming the crowd is a joke. There hasn’t been much to cheer for and they brought the heat at the right times. Not going to lie, this has probably been the worst series as far as entertainment value. Can only do so much when the game is so boring.

Disagree strongly and it’s more of a philosophical difference between your opinion and mine.
Our fans are so entitled. We “need” stuff to cheer for, vs. Trying to get the team going. It’s a fine line and Flames fans were able to cheer and generate energy in a way to make the team believe in themselves in 2004, but when the fans doubt the players or sit on their hands we get what we got tonight.
The last time Flames fans were truly any good was almost 20 years ago. To think that Flames fans are great is what the joke is, they actually are extremely entitled. Flames fans need to realize they are actually a part of the team and the effort. Weak effort and weak building. Maybe if the fans cheered a little more and were a bit louder etc. then the team may have had more juice. There actually have been legit scientific studies regarding the reality of home field advantage in sports, it is an actual phenomenon.
So you can sit there and say “wah wasn’t entertaining enough for me” but then we will perpetually watch first round exits. The reason 2004 was so special was because the fans truly brought the heat pun intended.
You know in a lot of ways, I’m not sure Calgary fans deserve the Flames to be perfectly honest. Might be the most entitled fans in the NHL.
