Its really troubling how they lost last night. It wasn't a hard fought game decided by inches. It was embarrassing.
I actually have full confidence that they reset and be ready for game 4. Im not buying any of these grandiose narratives that these players don't have what it takes. Those things aren't pre ordained. You write your own story.
I think 2 things need to happen for the tide to turn.
1. The Flames need to dig deep, look in the mirror and decide how much they want this. That much is obvious.
2. They need a break of some sort. A bounce a 5on3 gift. Anything. I am a believer that you "make your own bounces" and so far they don't deserve any, but it seems like very few breaks have gone their way.
Also, to add. I think that is the most broken sticks on a penalty kill in a stretch of games I have ever seen. Big gable by Lindholm and it bit them in the arse.
