Was at the game and here are some quick thoughts.
- got too caught-up in the Drew vs Chuckie drama - the kid answered the bell and kept playing the way he plays - Flames should have followed the lead
- powerplay was brutal - make some changes and get the puck on net
- Versteeg was awful - can't count the number of times he tried to be too cute with the puck only to give it away - this is happening far to often and the guy needs to be sat or make simple smart plays
- Chiasson's penalties hurt the team - he makes sloppy, lazy plays - time to try Lazar in his spot
- Ferland was non-existent - his physical play could have helped tip things in the Flames favour but he essentially took the night off - light a fire under this guy - he can be a force when he wants to be
- Can't win every game though, learn and move on and come out with determination on Friday vs the Sharks
