I went to bed after the second period and listened on the Radio. This was a classic Calgary Flames performance.
- Pepper the goalie with tons of shots. Easy shots right into the crest or unobstructed long shots from the blue line.
- Get multiple PP and have grade A chances (Posts/barely missed deflections) but fail to score to secure the go-ahead goal.
- Local boy in net for the opposing team.
- End of a home stand.
-Playing a on paper "weaker" opposition (see Ottawa last year).
- A goal that is seen typically as "weak/cheap" either being the first goal or the tying goal...I never seen it but by all accounts the go ahead goal was a deflection off a players body.
Ive been watching this team a long time and outside the one Bob Hartley year, When I get this feeling I always turn it off. Maybe if I keep it on we will come back and win one day?
Anyways, the Flames have been playing great early in this season and it is just one game. Hate losing to Divisional opponents though and hope the guys can bounce back in a big way next time they play the sharks. All of a sudden even with the great start the Division is tight.
