Kind of a weird game. The final score is fitting as the Flames played hard and the Sharks are the worst team I have seen this year. The weird part is that somehow the game was tied with 10 minutes as the score did not indicate the disparity between the two teams until the end of the game when the Sharks just stopped playing. Credit to Markstrom for making two key saves in the 3rd period that led to goals scored the other way. In an 82 game all that counts is the result in the standings. The defensive breakdowns at times are still dogging the team and it's something you just don't expect from a Darryl Sutter coached team. Hoping that in the coming months they can put together some 60 minutes efforts.
As for the Sharks that was pretty ghastly hockey. I will give them props for a very good looking PK but otherwise David Quinn is simply not a good NHL head coach and while the roster isn't that good, it's not the worst but the effort level is by far the worst I have seen from any NHL team this season. I feel bad for fans that are turning out to watch that.
