We want to figure out ways that Calgary can improve this matchup. Obviously that really doesn’t matter since it’s not like we have a line to Sutter. I’m just getting a bit tired of the excuses for why we are losing and would you know rather just beat our rivals. I have a friend coming in from Edmonton tomorrow and am not looking forward to him teasing me about the last game.

Now we've gotten to the crux of the matter. He can only get to you if you let him. Smile and say both games were good games. Your friend will look silly pretty quickly if you don't take the bait.
