Again, what the games come down to are special teams. Flames go 0-6 on the PP and Blues 2-6. Blues also tied for third in the league on the road at 25%.

Flames outshot Blues 33-29 so that tells you a bit about the quality of shots and the inability to execute.

Hudler was by far the best Flame and got 6 shots.

Wideman a -3 and Smid -2 tonight.

Where was the truculence from Wesgarth and McGrattan in this game? They should have been put out there until they got in a fight!

I believe we're at a crossroads here and breaking point so to speak now.

What has to happen is a coaching change and a big deal for an impact player, even if the Flames include some draft picks and current prospects.

I like Hartley but it's just not working.

You still have to ice a team that can play the scheduled games in the NHL here.

Next up Pittsburgh and Sidney Crosby.

Might be tough to see some moves here with the Olympics coming up.
