We fired nearly 200 shot attempts in the last 2 home games basically doubling up both opponents. That’s effort and commitment right there. Going down 2-0 vs Pittsburgh and then coming back twice against the 2 time defending champs is commitment. We lack skill right now and if this team had a little more finishing ability then we’d be a damn fine team.
I loved the Flames pushback against the Pens. The thing is it started as soon as they were down 2-0, rather than waiting until the 3rd period like against the Isles. And there was a difference in the quality of chances they generated. Gibson saw a lot of pucks but Smith made more big saves than Gibson had to make. It's not accurate to say the Flames came out and outplayed the Isles and just didn't get the bounces. That's the whole problem with GG and his defenders. You can only accept that narrative for so long. Do you not see a pattern here?
