Yeah, but Kypreos also certainly wasn't talking up the Leafs as if they are a contender. It sounded more like he was expecting to see a lot more from the Flames than he did. Again, I didn't watch much of the game so was just curious about what others felt. I generally agree with Steinberg's takes and he seemed to think that the Flames got kicked in by the Leafs in the 3rd and if it weren't for Vladar, likely would have lost anyways.

I thought there was a clear advatange for the Flames in the first and the Leafs in the second. The third period I thought the Flames pressed harder but had spells where they got trapped or gave up big chances. But that's score effects to some degree. It's true that Vladar kept them in though.
