Had the NHLFlames just matched the StLouisBlues' compete from the start and shown what they did in the final 10 minutes of the third all game long, then perhaps they’d be celebrating two points, writes RoryBoylen.
one quarter of the way into the 2019-20 season has been their lack of consistency.
Flames coach Bill Peters has called his team out on this more than once already, saying after Tuesday’sagainst the Arizona Coyotes “We have to start playing for each other, playing the right way. I don’t think we’re doing that right now. I don’t see that. If we are, I’m missing it.” The Flames escaped their Saturday night meeting against the defending Stanley Cup champions with a point, but again we have to wonder if a better start-to-finish effort could have resulted in more. On the one hand, the fire and desperation Calgary showed toward the end of the game is a good quality for a team to have, but on the other, had they started with that same emotion against a team at the tail end of a western Canadian road swing, the result could have been better.
Very few things come easy against St. Louis’ “heavy hockey.” They are very organized and very well put together — this is exactly what Peters wants his Flames to be.
