This game started out so good and then almost everyone forgot how to move a puck up the ice. So many passes to guys that were covered and had no choice but dump it. After the first the Flames only had a few players that were willing to race for the puck. Way too many hope and a prayer blind passes (like Lucic's) with no plan at all.
I hope Markstrom doesn't make a habit out of getting caught out of the net or playing the puck so close to the trapazoid. He clearly noticed that his teammates were being outskated to our end.
Once the Jets ramped up their forecheck on the Flames, that's all it took to throw the Flames off their game. No adjustment at all.
Not happy with Johnny resorting to slap shots instead of using his above average edge work to make a move around a defenceman.
