I get that it would've been nice for him to make one of those stops, but it was one of those games. Flames were hitting posts, missing penalty shots, missing other high quality chances. Just one of those nights.
If Tre can somehow snag a stud #1 goalie, then great, he should be looking and I hope he does find one. But tonight wasn't a game to pin the loss on the goalie IMO.

3 were questionable IMO.
Steen’s and both Perron PP goals.
Steen goal isn’t “soft” but need to make a save 8 seconds after a goal, the 1st Perron PP he gets caught wandering, and the 5th goal was an on the ice shot from the point that needed to be saved.
He’s not the only reason they lost but overall he needs to be better than he was tonight.
