-I think Talbot probably should have started tonight. Of course hindsight is 20/20. MA Fleury has been crushing the Flames, and it would have been nice if the coaches did something to mitigate that.
-Frolik and Jankowski have had it rough. However, lets not be impulsive. I wouldn't be surprised to see Frolik turn his play around at some point.
-Kylington seems to be generally better than Stone
-Stop putting Lucic in positions that are beyond what he's capable of handling. He's a 4th liner, nothing more. This is especially true when it negatively affects the production and development of some of the younger, faster, more skilled options.
Positives
-Lindholm is kind of like Backlund from a few years ago. We all agree he's good, and we all agree he's underrated. But I still feel like he deserves more credit.
-The Flames improved in the faceoff today. 61% is quite good.
-The Flames only had 3 penalties. The game is easier when you aren't shorthanded for a period.
-Most of the big-name players have been pretty good, more or less.
