I enjoy the wins, and I soothe myself with the losses by knowing that it will result in drafting a good piece.
Pospisil has returned to being a very noticeable player again, and that's great to see. Tonight wasn't what I really expected to see this season - losses, yes, but a bit more energy and a closer game overall. With that being said, I can't expect this team to continually out-work the opposition, or even put up a fight night-in and night-out when the poor results start to add up.
It is amazing how Backlund continues to be such a strong presence for the Flames on the ice given his age. I am glad that at least a few members of this future core get a chance to be around him and learn from him, both on and off the ice.
On to the next one. I don't expect wins, I don't expect losses, I am just finding whatever enjoyment there is in the actual game play, even if it is moments here and there (and there have been many more than expected thus far this season overall).
