You've got a mentally fragile team that's given up a multi-goal lead again. They're not moving their feet and look like they're feeling sorry for themselves. Surely the mental reset that a timeout could provide is worth more than the 2% chance of a goal?
Pretty good breakdown. I don’t disagree. Hate the idea of saving for a challenge. Flames could have used it when it was 2 -2 and reset a bit
