Actually the pp's were 5-4.
And it's not so much about them evening out, it's about the slashes that the Flames were getting away with. Those can do damage/hurt. There were 3 uncalled slashes that I saw...those need to be called. Perspective, for me, means especially so when considering that Quinn was the only one who got called for a slash and it didn't look like much. The linesmen also were too involved and in the way.
It's not why we lost, but it does contribute.
Team was gassed and off. Happens.
People reading too much into things and analyzing the team in a negative light need to understand that teams do have off games. They get sloppy and tired and this team has shown that they can regroup and refocus. Their record can't just be attributed to "luck"....they have a lot of skill and are learning to win games. Just not last night (dammit, suck it Flames).
Also, I can tell you this for free....Pospisil needs a wordless stern talking to.
