DHT Posted October 30, 2022 Report Share Posted October 30, 2022 Those two oiler goals were weak. Marstrom really needs to stop those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcs Posted October 30, 2022 Report Share Posted October 30, 2022 Tough break. Flames played a good game. Couple blunders and 2 Oilers goals off of lucky bounces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DHT Posted October 30, 2022 Report Share Posted October 30, 2022 I was hoping that they would play Vladar. Marky is always shaky with Oilers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they were trying to get him over his Oilers jinx now instead of waiting until they meet in the playoffs. But so much for playing Vladar once/week. That lasted all of never… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McDavid’s goal was absolutely on Marky, but the last goal was on the defense. A bad pass that deflects in front is hard for any goalie! Marky played a good game, but we beat ourselves with mistakes.

pcs Posted October 30, 2022 Report Share Posted October 30, 2022 They finally have a real solid goaltending tandem, and Sutter’s gonna do what the Flames always do and tire out his starter before playoffs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taz89 Posted October 30, 2022 Report Share Posted October 30, 2022 When will the Flames learn that Markstrom cannot beat the Oilers? That blunder basically turned the whole game, sorry but you cannot go with Marky again with Edmonton, even in the playoffs. If they do, might as well just forfeit the series. This has turned into a psychological battle. Whether they admit it or not, the players don't have the same confidence with Marky against the oilers and they will make mistakes because of it. I think everyone knows the point I'm trying to make here. Colorado used their goalie tandem last year in the playoffs to perfection, you don't need to stick with one starter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thebrewcrew Posted October 30, 2022 Report Share Posted October 30, 2022 Didn't like the 2nd goal at all. For me though, this one came down to the Big Guns. McDavid had 3 pts. Lindholm assisted on the SHG, but aside from that, the Flames got nothing from their "top line". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, he made 23 quality saves that any goalie would have trouble with. We lost because we couldn't put them away. Had a quarter of a PP to end the 1st. Got a PP in the 2nd but got called for a weak penalty about 15 seconds into it. 42 shots, should have been a winner. Too much shoveling garbage near the net. Some nights you need more than 2. We got a shortie, but they scored on the PP. Even if it was off Hanifin's stick. BTW, COL used 2 goalies because the starter got a stick in the eye. Couldn't play. That what you have a backup for.

cross16 Posted October 30, 2022 Report Share Posted October 30, 2022 I think the Flames beat the Oilers but they couldn’t beat McDavid and That’s going to happen sometimes with someone of his skill set. Thought Markstrom was very good outside the 2nd goal and even then there is only one player is the world who is getting that puck on the net that fast. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought Markstrom was very good outside the 2nd goal and even then there is only one player is the world who is getting that puck on the net that fast. The one area I felt we did poorly was turnovers in our end. Led to extended time in the D-zone. Way too much pucks bouncing all over the place. I felt we did good on rushes, just not able to exit with their heavy forecheck. It was a game of inches. The 2nd short-handed chance by Backlund and Lindholm. Bith players were gassed but chose to play it like we were 5v5. When they failed to score, they went off the ice, which led to Mange trying to get in position and forcing Hanifin to pick up the man. Backlund played about a minute 30 prior to that goal. I get that he saw a chance, but Lindholm maybe should have gone of while Backlund was rushing. I'm not annoyed at the overall play. Except for that 2nd goal, we played the Oilers pretty well. Sometimes you get birned when you try to stop the puck. McD was all by himself on the boards, so we need to play dump ins like that a bit better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travel_dude Posted October 30, 2022 Report Share Posted October 30, 2022 Best line from Sutter's presser. Was asked by Eric Francis why Huberdeau left the bench, was Sutter able to say why? "I think he had to go take a sh*t". Classic Sutter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bad pass that deflects in front is hard for any goalie! Marky played a good game, but we beat ourselves with mistakes. I don't see how he's supposed to play that 2nd goal differently. He went to play the puck, which is what you do 9/10 times. He missed it, but it was up pretty high. McD fired a no look shot and 9/10 times you get time to get set a little more. I didn't like the goal, but whatever. Need to score more than 2 goals to beat the top 16 teams most nights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
