Man, I hope the Flames start to do another peak rather than trending down with 15 games left. That 3rd line is running a bit small with 3 pluggers all running 5'-11". I think the Flames need Ruzicka as their 3 line center or move Monahan up, TBH. Also,

I don't understand why Sutter started the OT with Backlund and Tanev. It's like they had almost no puck possession in that OT aside from the PK. It just seemed like Sutter was playing playoff positioning for the other teams rather than wanting the necessary points to clinch the playoffs right now. Just a frustrating past several games to watch besides the BoA.

Next 15 games - 12 of them will be playoff style hockey. Schedule is tough down this last stretch!
