I don't mind the wall of shame thing. Nothing wrong with making fun of ourselves. I'm on there twice, lol.
Flames seemed like they were skating in quicksand in the first 2 periods when the Stars were clogging everything up. But thankfully they found another gear in the 3rd, stopped worrying about what Dallas was doing, and just played their game. As a result, the Flames' depth and skill took over and they got the W.
I wonder if maybe some of the younger, inexperienced guys just get more anxious playing in front of the home crowd? Overall the Flames seem to play a better and more complete game when they're on the road.
Hopefully these guys learned from last night that if they put in a full 60 minute effort, they'll win most games, no matter what sheet of ice they happen to be playing on. When they flip that switch, this team is scary good.
