They limited LA to 16 shots on goal. The ydidn't capitalize on their chances but all is not lost. overall defensively they did do a good job less a couple of breakdowns.

These discrepancies became apparent:-. - Not winning the majority of face offs - Being a little hesitant in defensive forechecking and less effective in the offensive zone - Shots on goals were not powerful enough - butter finger passes? - Being unable to set up during man advantages and giving up a short handed tally. Conspicuously, these discrepancies can be attributed to tiredness after the San Jose game but there are some serious issues to consider: Bourque doesn't seem to have recuperated and his performance was visibly weak, which means that injuries have become a disconcerting factor - Bourque in Chicago - Regehr in San Jose - Conroy in St.Louis (perhaps uintentional) but nevertheless critical - Kiprusoff was attacked (at teast 3 times) These trends are certainly falling into place and obviously the Flames cannot afford any more injuries. On a positive closing note:- Compliments to Conroy for his assist in the lone goal.
