I don't think he could have easily scored anything. The guy can skate and has some talent but he's saddled with a minor league shot and minor league moves. That breakaway attempt was so pathetic and Andersson brushed the puck aside like he was almost offended that a shooter actually thought a shot like that would beat him. People talk about the Flames bad puck luck of late but when you have a breakaway at an important juncture in the game where a Flames goal may have stopped the bleeding and the shooter takes a shot that wouldn't beat a midget goaltender that's not bad luck, that bad play and there's been a lot of that lately with poor passing and bad shooting.
