Bad game all around by the team. I would disagree with Gulutzan's decision with respect to starting goalies. You would not see Montreal or a Chicago coach send in a backup who has been struggling in a big game like this. Big game because the Flames could separate themselves from the second WC spot and gain on Anaheim, Edmonton and San Jose. Want to give Johnson playing time and Elliott a break then wait until you play Colorado next week. The Flames aren't playing on back-to-back that requires the backup to play.
