On Wednesday night, the Calgary Flames took a step in the right direction after a run of discouraging games. Against a very good Dallas Stars team, the Flames stuck with it and fought until the end.
“I thought we came out hard in the first, they kind of pushed back but that’s the game of hockey,” Weegar said. “We’ve got to build on that, if there’s something positive out of that, there were some glimpses of a great hockey team out there. We’ve got to build on some great plays we made breaking out, neutral zone looked good and offensively I thought we generated more chances than normal.”
After a rough second that saw the Flames give up three goals, they were down 4-2 heading into the final 20 minutes.“In the third, we played like we had nothing to lose and that’s when we play well,” Rasmus Anderson said. “Dallas, they don’t back off, but they have everything to lose and we have nothing to lose. It’s a fine line with that aspect of the game.
They’re still a struggling team with a 2-7-1 record that is allowing too many goals and isn’t scoring enough on their own.They need more of the same and they need to stop their six-game slide.“I think if we play like that in the third period, we’re going to win a lot of games,” Flames forward Andrew Mangiapane said. “That’s the way we have to play. We were hard on pucks, hard on the forecheck, supporting each other in the d-zone, breaking out as five. We were doing the right things.
