I don't know what it was - whether it was an earlier game than normal, the general lacking atmosphere in Florida, or the fact it was a game between two bad teams - but last night's game was kind of a dud overall. The Flames lost a game they could have won, and that was that.
Can't let them get this close
The Panthers outshot and out-corsied the Flames, all the while getting better goaltending. But the Flames have something they need to focus on when it comes to defending, and that's not giving guys opportunities from right within the crease.
