I am one to #### on the flames after a poor showing but I don't think this one was as bad as people are making it out to be. Excluding the abysmal 1st period obviously.
Markstrom had a rougher game, but that's only 1/5 below average games.
Valimaki made some mistakes but he's also showing real good signs. That pass for deflection to Ryan in the 1st period was really nice.
Backlund was horrible but that's not something that occurs too often
Bennett, Lucic, Nordstrom and the invisible Leivo continue to bother me. Shake that up a bit.
Gaudreau and Monahan have been the two of the best Flames and I am enjoying that
