I wish I could downvote all these negative takes on the game. We won, talk about some of the positives at least. Huberdeau scored! He scored a freaking goal, Mangiapane scored too!
Markstrom was average, I just researched the goals against, 2 were questionable. The direct shot from Kopitar, he could have had that, probably should have had that but it was a rocket.
The other one was from the corner off the rebound that went off his pad and in, the 2nd goal. The rest weren’t on him IMO.
They finally had some luck but also created their own luck with their hard forechecking. This is what some don’t understand is that Sutter wants the whole team to play the system perfectly. The new guys are getting better at it for sure. But those who know it and are playing it are some of the bottom 6 players.
Once the top 6 fully get it, their time on ice will go up, the same happened when Sutter got here with JG and MT.
I’m not worried, work out the kinks now, get into good habits. Build chemistry, learn each other’s tendencies, and string together some solid games. It’ll come with this group. We just had a long losing streak and I avoided this place for the whole duration of that streak.
Let’s start a new one and start being optimistic around here. This team will figure it out and start climbing the standings.
That’s 2 in a row. May the Flames never lose again.
