cross16 Posted December 2, 2022 Report Share Posted December 2, 2022 Flames are just not executing anything at a high level right now. There game is pretty solid but it’s not firing on all cylinders. that’s not a huge surprise given the circumstances but it’s something you want to start seeing them improve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cross16 Posted December 2, 2022 Report Share Posted December 2, 2022 Honestly deserved a better fate. They played a pretty solid game overal. Allen was very good and the flames are just not executing at a high level. I think that game wins more often than not and I think the flames generated enough quality to win but they also fumbled quite a few opportunities too. just think there’s still too much thinking going on. They arnt playing relaxed or with a lot of confidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too many times tonight, we’ve seen what should have been a “quick release” type of shot stopped and pondered long enough to allow Campbell to set and stop the shot.

taz89 Posted December 2, 2022 Report Share Posted December 2, 2022 This should have been a 1-0 flames win, at the very least gone into OT. 45 shots is deceiving in this game, most were not high danger or quality shots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn’t meant it wasn’t a good opportunity to score or create a rebound. if a team is going to give yon a free pass to put the puck on net and create something I don’t see why you wouldn’t want to take it.

Vancouver would probably rather him than Demko now, most nights Montreal would take him over Allen. We're not alone with goaltending being sub-par and quite average, don't have the firepower to overcome it. The Darryl Sutter coached team that finished top 10 in goals for and top 5 against was an anomaly. This is a return Darryl Sutter hockey and his teams can't win if they are in the middle of the pack in goals against. @conundrumed This Allen guy seems to only like to show up against your teams 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travel_dude Posted December 2, 2022 Report Share Posted December 2, 2022 Good to see the bench shortened, but no way in heck Lucic (7:50) should have 3 minutes more than Ritchie (4:50). But as far as the goalie is concerned, 2 goals is not the end of the world. On 19 shots that doesn't look good, but we need to be able to score more than one goal. Dicking around on four PP's. 20 passes to one shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cross16 Posted December 2, 2022 Report Share Posted December 2, 2022 Going to be a challenge, but I think the biggest thing is to not overreact to that game. They played well and I think there are a lot of positives to take from the game. This was a game where they generated enough both in terms of quantity and quality to win the game so this wasn't an element of shots being misleading. Allen was very good and the biggest reason the Flames didn't get any points. They flames got bodies to the net, they got traffic they went to hard areas, they did a lot of things you want them to do, Allen was just better. High danger chances were 14-4 a 5 on 5 and 19-6 overall. Shot quality wasn't the issue. Just gotta keep building off of this and I think it will come. The foundation is starting to get there for them in terms of the style of game they want to play and I think what is really missing right now is the swagger/confidence of them knowing they can get it done. Your just not seeing that up and down their lineup right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
