from Eric Francis of Sportsnet,
“It was a brutal game,” said Rasmus Andersson following an 8-2 humiliation at Crypto.com Arena, where the Flames found themselves down 4-0 to a red-hot Kings club in the first period.
“There’s nothing more to say, really.”
One day after being buoyed by seeing playoff rivals Winnipeg and Nashville skunked, the Flames followed suit with yet another massive setback to their playoff plans.
In front of a highly-entertained crowd that included John Legend, Vince Vaughn and Stampeder-turned-Broncos signing Alex Singleton, the Flames were outshot 14-3 in an opening frame that was easily the team’s most uninspired performance dating back to their home loss to Minnesota.
Yet, Darryl Sutter refused to blame the team’s energy or readiness.
“They jumped all over us, all over our mistakes we made in the first period,” said Sutter, whose club was outshot 10-0 the final 12 minutes of the period.
“It’s not always about energy, tonight was just about getting outplayed.
Watch the game highlights below.
Not to be rude to Calgary or their fans, but this is just one of those teams I legit zero care aboot. Like make or dont, youre a road apple either way. Coaching and management must obviously feel some hot seats, I imagine.
