Close but too late once again. Tiring. Disappointing games from a few players (Colborne for example). The coaching staff makes some real head scratching decisions sometimes. Frustrating to end the road trip on a 2 game losing streak after an awesome run.
We can't have too many losing streaks anymore, so hopefully they get back on track asap.
-Didn't lose because of goaltending. Ramo with a decent game
-Ferland with another strong game
-.500 on that road trip is pretty damn good imo
-Hamilton looking great lately

Colborne needs to be sitting for the next few games, Bouma can't be back soon enough. I started noticing him (not a good thing) during the St Louis game. The play has died almost everytime the puck hits his stick. Yet Hartley keeps rewarding him with first line pp minutes and the kicker as the extra man at the end. In my opinion Hartley and Colborne are the difference makers from us at least getting a point.
Outside of that dreadful 2nd period, I thought the Flames played pretty well in this one. But once again, it was too little too late at the end there. Have these guys not looked at the standings lately? They can't afford to take entire periods off.
On a positive note, the PP looked much better and finally scored a freakin' goal. Yay! Baby steps.
Red Wings beat Flames 4-2
