We tied up MAYBE one game with the EN this season. Tkachuk helped the team even up that one game with a couple goals in the middle of the third against Arizona I think it was? But unless we've evened up a game in the first few minutes of the third period, where the gap was no more than one goal, the Flames have typically folded like a cheap tent to finish games.
We ####ing sucked this season when pulling the goalie. And I distinctly remember the team being far, far better at pushing to tie in those situations under Hartley. There's no comparison when it comes to pushback.

The numbers represent the wins in which we've won games after trailing the 1st or the 2nd.
I agree we haven't been great with the EN this season. But really, outside of the miracle 14-15 season, Hartley's teams weren't great at comeback wins either.
Obviously everyone remembers 14-15 quite fondly, but the goals that were scored with the bouncing off legs, off skates, off backs of goaltender's heads were just so incredibly lucky that you really can't bank on it every year as 15-16 showed. We barely had any comebacks wins that season and it contributed to Hartley's demise as our coach.
