None of the Ducks goals last night were anything special. Both of our goals were pretty, built from hard work by our team, by our two top lines. Elliott should have had that first goal, he has to give our team a chance in the 1st period to get up a goal or two instead of playing from behind. This Ducks team is beatable but Dougie and Brodie have to be much better than that in the final minutes of the game. Last night I was really close to turning the game off when Dougie went to the box, I just knew they would score and we would be too deflated to come back.

The Rakell goal went off Brodie's face area and then dropped down, that goal isn't on him it is just dumb luck. I am no superstitious at all but here is something to this curse. How does something like that play turn into a goal? How does a redirection off a skate that far out beat Elliott? I rarely doubt the Flames and I still don't think this series is over. Come back to the dome and play 1 period at a time, just win each period. Elliott has to play lights out from here on out and like everyone has posted, we can't take any more dumb penalties. To prevent a goal, sure, take it all day long but no more emotional penalties. It is exactly what the Ducks want and their PP is deadly with Getzlaf playing how he is, we have no hope of winning this series or a game if this crap continues.

JG needs to be more selfish, just put pucks to the net, I understand that Gibson had the angle, but hope for a sloppy rebound, shoot low. Gibson has been shaky, we need to shoot more, from everywhere. Look what happens when the Ducks do? They get garbage, lucky goals against us. We need to see more from Tkachuk, more from Gio, anything from Brouwer. Ferland seemed pretty quiet last night too. We just need more energy. I will be pissed at GG if he doesn't make a line up change. Just get those young guys in. Get Lazar and F. Hamilton/Hathaway in, take out Bouma and Brouwer, what have they done so far? Not enough.

Whatever the Flames do, they have to continue how they are playing 5 v 5, Elliott can't let those goals in early and our top defensemen can't take dumb penalties at crucial times in the game. GG put in some of the younger guys, get some energy back into the lineup.

This series is going back to Anaheim tied 2-2.

Go Flames Go.
