I also didn't think Mcdavd was his usual self against us yesterday, I mean hes still obviously noticeable but his points were all of the fortunate variety, not of the dominant way he usually preforms against us.
I actually thought minus a few bad turnovers the D played pretty decent. I think that was Weegars worst game as a Flame and he wasn't even bad. Stone has been good for us this year but his decision making needs to be a touch quicker. I find he gets himself in trouble when hes unsure of where to go with the puck and it can often give the other team that split second to get in on the forecheck.
I didn't think any of our forwards played well yesterday minus Lucic. Lucic had one bad turnover in the neutral zone but other than that he played great. Everybody else can play a whole lot better. Also count me in the group that thinks Lewis is pretty useless at this point. I mean he isn't prone to making huge mistakes but he is really hindering that 3rd line and it seems to have affected Colemans presence in the O zone.
Markstrom stance hasn't changed after sleeping on it. That teams in his head and its pretty obvious. Played well last night but the gimmies got to stop, especially against that team. Have no issue with him trying to play the puck, but once he couldn't it was pretty clear he lost his composure and it led to him over playing the bad angle shot. It wasn't even a good shot by Mcdavid, it went dead centre of the net.
