Again, we don't really have too many points of reference for this sort of thing around the league with players after playoff losses in the dressing room behind closed doors. Cameras aren't there, don't catch it or it gets edited out for the final product. This didn't.
From Iginla in any playoff series from 2004 to 2012 getting upset to Giordano in regular season games, Tkachuk and Gudbranson and who knows who else through the Covid Dallas loss, the Colorado loss and then the Oilers series...no one knows who reacted and how and in what manner, except the guys in the room, but there are always emotional outbursts.
My guess is there'd be different views of certain players on the Flames and players around the league if more of these sorts of raw dressing room emotional reactions got leaked out for public viewing and analysis.
