Sharangovich pots a couple of sitters he had, get a bounce or two in the 3rd vs Vegas and Colorado to kit give up the lead and Flames get 6 points with the overall effort of these three guys, the defense in general, and team overall, no different than the effort they did put in. And of course for 55 minutes vs Colorado Flames had 5 defenseman.

Pointing out that we're playing with three NHL D isn't a light against the other three. It's just pointing out that the three guys most capable of impacting the game are tired AF out there, and that as the game goes on, the forwards have to pick up some of the slack, which also has a cost.
When three of your six D are just trying not to make any mistakes while the other three rest, that takes a large chunk out of a team's effectiveness.
