I thought the Flames played well for a large part of the game. Just not doing much around the net. Markstrom played well but can't defend that 3rd goal, yikes. Not sure what was going on there. But tough to win with one goal, and a team that looks way off offensively.
The team started the season well, looked good, good forechecking. But as soon as Sutter put the lines in a blender it's been a different team, and not in a good way. Obviously whatever he is doing offensively isn't working, so go back to the lines that started the season. I know the top line didn't have great chemistry, but the team had 3 lines that were rolling. So instead of having one subpar line and 3 good ones, we now have 4 lines that all seem disjointed. I like to believe he's smart enough to go abck to those original lines, I guess we'll see.
