The Flames though showed this stupid determination or a lack of recognition of what the Canucks were doing which is basically standing up on their side of center ice, the Flames would try to force a bad situation. What they should have been doing was shooting the puck in more and using their speed to get in on the puck. They refused to do that.
As far as one loss, no matter how the loss happens, I can't say I really care until a pattern develops, and a pattern can't be interpreted after game one.
Call me at game 5 and ask me if I'm worried.

Name one time when the drop pass entry didn't achieve its purpose - namely, entry with control. The problems always arose after the successful entry.
