Mind you Lindholm was gliding all the way from the blue line and didn’t give 100% effort there.
I can’t see the complaints about Monahan - he was one of the better forwards out there, he beat Koskinen twice and just got unlucky. Tkachuk was pretty good, Gaudreau was fine (except he made that bad angle shot like 4 times, which to me says he’s playing a bit of his old perimeter game). Mangiapane and Dube were the guys I can’t recall a nice play out of. And the 4th line didn’t look very good.

Yeah, I thought our only shift to shift good players up front were Tkachuk, Lindholm, Gaudreau and Monahan (good for Mony!), but Dube's effort on the PP to keep the puck in and then dive for the puck led directly to Lucic's goal. It was a good play by Dube.
Really disappointed with Mangiapane - Backlund - Coleman as I thought that line really didn't do much.
The penalty kill and Markstrom's inability to make a big save was the difference in the game I thought. This Flames group putting up 3 goals should be enough. They're built to be a 3-2 team and rely on their top line and PP to generate pretty much all their offense, so it's pretty deflating to see the PK and goaltending be subpar.
