Thebrewcrew Posted March 19, 2023 Report Share Posted March 19, 2023 It’s amazing now inept this team is in overtime. This was a lot like the Boston game. They did some good things. Battled back. Took a lead. Coughed it up. Lost in the dying seconds of OT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

travel_dude Posted March 19, 2023 Report Share Posted March 19, 2023 I'm not about to blame the goalie but let's look at the stats. 2 goals against less than 2 minutes in. 3 goals on the first 10 shots. 1 goal against on the next 10 shots. 1 goal against on 4 shots in the 3rd. 1 goal against on 2 shots in OT.

cross16 Posted March 19, 2023 Report Share Posted March 19, 2023 Another lost point due to goaltending. there are many things that have gone wrong for the flames this year but goaltending is the number one reason they are going to miss the playoffs. it’s a steep drop off to number 2. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmac70 Posted March 19, 2023 Report Share Posted March 19, 2023 This season is just been a panic attack in the making, They appear flat in too many games similar to last year at times they actually defend the exact same as before Sutter got here, Its terrible to watch actually. This club needs a game changer which we simply don't have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the best play of his season was a spin pass in exhibition against WPG, safe to say he's had a very poor season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Backlund has been good on defending and transition, but playing him 22 minutes may not be the right idea. Are we trying not to lose or trying to win? Backlund almost half the entire OT.

Benched Kadri for OT because of the previous OT goal against (which was Pelletier's fault and not Kadri). Just not fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just not fair. Duehr dropped to 4th line after the first goal. Lewis inserted on Kadri's line. 4th line played all of 9 minutes. When they were out, they played fast and hard. Best 4th line in some time, but I am biased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't seen him go full speed 100% like he did tonight. At this point, just go with a kid line for 4th line. Pelletier - Ruzicka - Duehr Just sit Lucic and Lewis the rest of the season.

I know this game was typical of the other two we played the stars, but it does show we can score. 6-5, 5-4, 5-6. Were you entertained as opposed to the amount of dull games you have watched? Not extactly goalie fuels, but this is hockey. The lines aren't ideal, but better than most of February and March. One player gets the shaft after every game we lose, sometimes even when we win. Kadri and Pelletier are getting it, one deserved maybe for a game, the other not so much. Yet, we have seen players cause an important goal and nothing. Stubborness getting in the way of coaching. Win at all costs, but only at the expense of younger players. I can hear the wheels turning..... Lucic plays we win, he sits, we lose. Just give it a rest. We won't have Lewis or Lucic or Ritchie and possibly not Stetcher next season. Why waste anything on any of them. Stetcher, maybe. Ritchie, well okay you made a deal to get him for some reason. Toughness and scoring? But, we have players that will be "here" next season. Invest in them now. Not even a single game of Meloche and we went out to sign him.

I do think Porier could take the spot of Kylington ot Strecher he should be better than both. Sol or Kuzentsov are better oprions than Meloche Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this not contradictory to what everyone has been BTCing about? shouldn't the players have to earn their promotions and not be gifted them? If they can't respond I don't want them up here quite frankly. The simplest way to separate those who can and want it is through adversity.
