“Oh … our team defence has been real good,” said Flames head coach Peters with a smile. In the conference race, the Sharks are really the only squad left with a shot to keep the Flames from wrapping up top spot. But that again says plenty about the Flames commitment to defence during a soft part of the schedule. “Every team we play has a good team,” Andersson said. L.A.’s top line is still a really good line in the NHL, and they have a few really good d-men.”But it wasn’t exactly a murderers’ row of foes which could have helped make it easier to see — and understand — a defensive lapse from the Flames.
