Haven't read the thread yet as I watch in a severe delay but.
Since the players only meeting telling tkachuk to calm down his play had fallen off an edge. He has just become lazy only looking for outlet passes. I don't blame him . Why play a hard nose in your face game when your team is telling you not to. He has a disinterested look after whistles now. The flames need to let him do his thing or he will look for an out.
Don't blame Markstrom for the second goal . That is a move of a frustrated goalie. That is a move a goalie makes when hes pissed at the team in front of him. That's a " If you can't play defense I will. I've been bailing you out now I gotta play defense too.."
It's obvious Gio is losing steps not a step. He cant keep keep up with the younger fast forecheck.
The god damn dump and chase. Why the #### is Ward getting them to do this? This isnt the big bad bruins in 2010. The flames aren't huge . This isn't there game. Every time I see it I think of what Iginla told Conroy " This isn't the fourth line any more, you dump the puck in you go get it"
