[PGT] Where is the defense? Flames lose to Avs 6-3

[dammage79]

We need a goalie. Plain and simple. Move Two D men off the roster and do fracking something, it's not working. The team is playing good enough, just waaaaayyyyyy to fragile in their own zone. It is the nightmare.

Bennett has been unreal though

Hamilton was quite good. Brodie of course was great. Russel wasnt bad. Gio was horsesh....

Mason Raymond better never dress in a Flames jersey again. That he wasnt benched after losing the game from utter stupidity isnt a good sign.

Ramo shouod have played his last game as a Flame. Hell make it Ramo/Hiller in the AHL and pray Jilles is ready. Ortio certainly isnt

[Erick Estrada]

Worst part is the Avs weren't even good tonight. It's not the worst roster the Flames have ever iced but through the first month of the season it's been the worst team. They simply aren't very competitive if they keep getting blown out night after night you really have to wonder if Hartley lasts the season as it's one thing to continue to lose and show progress but this team keeps looking terrible night after night.

The team commitment to defense has been attrocious these past 2 games.

[skcli]

Wideman is poisonous, Ramo is absolute cyanide. With both none can survive. Oh my god!

4+ goals allowed in 10/13 games. The entire team needs to tighten up defensively.

[DionTheDman]

Mediocrity for Matthews?

Jay, a lonely Flames Nation turns its eyes to you.

[Jeff Foxworthy voice] "...and if you let one of the worst possession teams in the league shoot 46 times and score three in the third period... Well, then you just might be a terrible hockey team."

[-TC-]

this is one hockey season I want to end soon... as much as the Flames are my team, it's getting hard to sit through the lapses, breakdowns, and horrible goaltending

[thymebalm]

Fire the coach? :bag face:

[N-E-B]

Well, looks like we're in for another rough year. I'm fine with that. As long as Johnny and Bennett continue to play well I'll be happy. Watching those two this year has been a real treat.

Well, if you have remotely competent goaltending you let in 3 and it's a tie (that's a 926 save percentage ~20th in the league).

I don't know if you can just "wait out" a goalie situation when they're this bad. Make a move, brad. Unload one and pick up a guy with a decent resume.

[Buck Murdock]

The Ramo/Hiller experiment must end. We need a bonafide #1. Bring on Cam Ward!

[Jagermeister]

They need to do something about this goaltending or the season is done. Ortio, Ramo and Hiller arent the solution. This group is so fragile because of this horrid goaltending. Zero confidence in their goalies.
