Jokinen watched a puck for a few seconds before the chicago player put it in, Dion Phaneuf was irresponsible defensively (as he has been all series), Iginla seemed to care more about chirping with the hawks, and Camalleri looked horrible in general (does he really expect 6 million plus next year for all regular season production and no playoff push?).......this all topped off by the sub-standard goaltending from kipper (the only thing consistent about the flames team this season) Keenan should be fired for not being able to motivate a team of this Calibre. Even if they win game six, Chicago's line-matching at home will destroy the flames in Game 7....and it is sad to think this could all have been averted by winning a game or two down the stretch and playing the Blues in the first round.

What I hate about it all is the entire game changed because of that one jerk off pictured above. Not cool. Well it eventually did become all their skill and heart, I would agree.
