Holding on Lindy not called

Lucic is killing the Backlund line. Couple bad giveaways so far.

Lucic is a liability out there tonight.

Suspect he was gassed. Looked like a partial line change. Lucic out there with 3rd pairing D.

NJ was either getting a goal or a PP with that croud. Too bad we don't get that loud at home

8 shots against and we are tied. Sheesh 3 goals scored and only 1 counted.

Lucic out there. Uck

Was thinking the same thing. Coleman's wasn't as blatant.

Wow, 2 challenges and won them both.

Second goal shuld be called back. Kicked in FFS

Gilbert loves to fight

Freebe

He means that Mackey is sitting

To be fair, he whiffed on the shot out.

Offside? Daryl must know something.

Lets hope that's the only gaffe from Zaddy.

Stupid line change

Kadri Woot Woot

Light workload previouly, so it's not a big thing to start B2B.

Nice hit Kadri

Rozie on the top line

Not good. Saw him holding his arm.

Depends when he said it I guess. I would think cap space is like gold, the longer you have it the better. In the case of the right now, the only benefit of Kylington going on LTIR would be being allowed to bring in Meloche and DeSimone. But honestly, I didn't see enough from Meloche to say he's an upgrade. The Flames obviously believe that Kylington will be back before we hit 20 games. At least in my opinion. Not that it matters, but they seem to be holding out making any trades right now. I think we have seen that we really don't have depth past the 7th guy (with Kylington available). That only leaves forwards, picks and prospects available to trade. So that's not happening, nor do we have the cap to do it. Would a trade of Kylington be the best thing? Stone being the replacement 6D. Not the worst thing in the world, but we lack depth that really could step in then. Kinda like where we are today.

It's kinda the problem. He makes a bunch of really good saves and lets in one that changes the game. But, let's face it, the Flames were under siege when they score the 2 and 3 goal. You want him to make that timely save. Too many chances all in a row are going to come back on you. I don't like 5 hole goals at all. I will say this. It's frustrating when we have 18 shots in a period and we get scored on on the 1st shot. Almost says that we are wasting quality with quantity, if it takes that many to have one goal. Some goalies get smoked like that but other shut the door. Make it look like we just can't score. Maybe some of the two on one rushes are just poorly executed. 2nd player not in a position to take the pass. Shooter has no choice and the goalie knows it.

The problems show up more when they don't have the puck. Less overpassing, but still a tendency to pass away from the direct shot to a wing. The soft entries drive me crazy. Reminds me of the bad part of Johnny's game last year. Some of the goals were a delayed result from a blown O-zone chance.
