man, what an frustrating game to watch. Flames play a decent game for 2 periods but then a bad call against, crappy PK again, and the will gone.
- giordano and brodie both look terrible. Brodie just can't be our PP qb, his decision making offensively, his first reaction is just not good enough. not to mention he's part of the highlight reel getting completely burned on the 1st and 3rd goals. I'm really disappointed in what's happened to this kid. He looks brutal out there.
- it's funny how monahan/gaudreau took so long trying to maximize the $$$ yet both look like utter garbage this season. Monahan has been the worst center on the team, bennett, backlund, stajan have all created more, and done more than him. gaudreau has just been lost. dipsy doodling right into traffic, an extremely frustrated player.
- chiasson shouldn't be on the top line. I really think they should try versteeg back there. He's been playing with some mojo, have liked his game. He has the offensive instincts and hands to play with gaudreau.
- special teams again the difference in my opinion. Flames can't score a single PP goal, and though they did get a SH goal, it was the PK goal on the bennett penalty that did them in.
- officiating was pretty lousy. Missed call on gaudreau in the 1st, the hit on giordano (immediately followed by gio holding the stick), then the atrocious call on bennett in the 3rd.
- oh and that timing of pulling the goaltender was piss poor, on the coaching, or the play by gio and co. on the ice, whoever, but man was that ugly.
this was a game the flames should have come out with at least a point, but instead got hammered on the scoresheet and goals against 5-1.
