cross16 Posted December 28, 2022 Report Share Posted December 28, 2022 I really wish the flames wouldn’t fall into this trap so quick of thinking they have to have a dirty goal. It’s Edmonton and there is open ice in the o zone. Don’t like they they give up on that and play the let’s get a shot and hope for a rebound strategy. Skinner is big and he’s seeing everything why not get him moving? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

travel_dude Posted December 28, 2022 Report Share Posted December 28, 2022 FFS, EN and we put out Lucic. BS missed call on the Toffoli interference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thebrewcrew Posted December 28, 2022 Report Share Posted December 28, 2022 Probably a missed interference call. Near impossible angle for Toffoli. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cross16 Posted December 28, 2022 Report Share Posted December 28, 2022 It’s not costing the flames the game but this has been an atrocious game from these refs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cross16 Posted December 28, 2022 Report Share Posted December 28, 2022 Well they have a script. They were the much better team but couldn’t bury it, took bad penalties, and their stars couldn’t find a way to win them the game. very familiar. You need your best players in a game like this and the flames didn’t get it, Edmonton did and they lost because of it. Which is really too bad because I really liked their team game.

I can live with some of the calls, but they call marginals ones and let the obvious calls go. We can't keep playing for 1-1 games going into the 3rd. Maybe open it up a bit to get a lead.

Thebrewcrew Posted December 28, 2022 Report Share Posted December 28, 2022 Costly loss for the Flames tonight. Only got 2 of 6 from the team directly ahead of them. Tomorrow is a really important one as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flames for life Posted December 28, 2022 Report Share Posted December 28, 2022 Too bad. Super entertaining game, albeit slanted horribly by ref calls. I can’t fault Markstrom, who played a great game. Skinner played crazy good. Calgary had some good shots that he was able to stop. Add a goon number of off the post shots, and Calgary controlled a lot of the play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taz89 Posted December 28, 2022 Report Share Posted December 28, 2022 Oilers have the superstars and that's the difference in the game, plane and simple. Flames dont have what it takes to beat these guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cross16 Posted December 28, 2022 Report Share Posted December 28, 2022 I hope the coaching staff doesn’t fall into the trap of making decisions based on weak competition. I still don’t think this lineup is it and while I know the points looks good you have to factor in the competition. I’m not convinced this lineup can thrive when they need it too.

taz89 Posted December 28, 2022 Report Share Posted December 28, 2022 We miss Johnny and Chucky big time hate to say it but its true. Not only for their offense but their ability to draw penalties. Who draws penalties for Calgary? Mange seems to be the only one that takes them, at least the stupid ones. Wouldn't be surprised if he was included in some deal at the deadline.

I actually thought I saw some of the best defensive playing by the back line from the season. The only penalties called on them were weak calls imo, and Calgary did not back down. the defense really does appear to be gelling more then I have seen all year. If we can do something about the boat anchor on Kadri’s line we might actually be heading in the right direction! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It maybe was a good idea to use Lucic in a situation where you needed to block out players. We have to ice a set of lines that can do it. We really don't have any optimum lines, with the closest being the top line. Ruzicka bring it in less minutes than Lucic. He rarely makes poor passes. The lines need fixing. That is all.

Decide the game by giving an additional one in the 3rd, but don't call the other team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_People1 Posted December 28, 2022 Report Share Posted December 28, 2022 I think this group is good enough to make the playoffs. We won't go deep and I ask why bother... Might as well rebuild and go young but I'm not the owner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless they get Patrick Kane to put some pucks in the net, if these teams meet again in the playoffs it will be the same result as last year. That last shot by Backlund tonight that hit the post, if that was Kane it would be IN, not hitting the post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
