Just finished the game... Frustrating. GG reminds me of Brent Sutter with his stubbornness to try and fit square pegs into round holes. Flames get scored on so he puts out the Brouwer line and our worst defensive pair against the Sedins... A sucker for punishment? How is that going to spark a comeback? The fact Bartkowski is even on this team is a huge failure by the GM, but the fact that he gets played so much is on the coach. Also, Sam Bennett has low hockey IQ, reminds me of Taylor Hall with less skill, but I do think he will get better with time, just like Hall did, it's just a matter of how patient they want to be.
I'm not sure why they spend so much on elite defencemen if they don't use them... They could have 2 cannons from the point on two PP lines, but they use Brouwer and Versteeg instead? Not to mention they would be more defensively responsible by having 2 Dmen out there. Frustrating game.
