Really? Apart from a late flurry, they had 16 shots.
They are constantly lazily giving the puck away in the slot. Soft turnovers everywhere. They have two guys total that finish checks. And where is the net front presence on the PP? Savard is telling them to do that (Huska interview after the game), but it is hard and painful so they don't.
Effort/intensity/focus - whatever you want to call it there is something that they have complete control over that they are not delivering on a consistent basis.
If they were getting blown out but had a high GaS meter I would be fine with it. I've lived through all the Flames sucky years. It's teams like this year's Flames that I despise.
The 'team' not the players. You know what I mean.
