Why Galliardi got so much time late in the game out there with the skill guys hogging the puck though doing absolutely nothing with it only to turn it over is beyond me.
Really, Bob? You're gonna ice a guy who hasn't scored in 30 games to try and tie a game up? Brilliant coaching.
Oh then there's Stempniak, who rushes the puck in deep (great) but again and again tries a fancy backhand pass cross-ice into all the players' feet, only to be turned over, every time. When you're pushing for the equalizer, why not keep s### simple and get a damn shot on, look for rebounds, instead of losing possession and the zone trying to thread needles, which you just aren't very good at.
Now that we've had to suffer through that embarrassment, I just hope the Oilers pass us and take themselves out of the Ekblad sweepstakes for good (barring another lottery miracle).
Yeah we can point fingers at the refs for last night, but the Flames played offensively very boneheaded through most of the game. Frustrating to say the least.
