3rd period Flames had disappeared for a few games this road trip. Flames decided to make up for all of it in one game. Teams will be terrified of us down the stretch. This shows truly NO lead is safe against this team. In fact you're almost more likely to lose when you have them down a couple goals.
What did you think when Schelmko hit the ice against Boston? Same way?
Maybe Hartley knows a bit better
Just not a fan of trying to emulate the same success in the shootout, I guess. Schlemko was a surprise to me, but I would have switched the last shooter (Jooris) when we had the chance to a guy that didn't have a track record yet on shootouts just for the element of surprise. However, I'm not the coach, so what do I know.

What's even funnier about this quote is that this exact thing happened against his team today. You'd think he would have seen enough examples of this by now to not make such a stupid statement.

Jooris was in that exact position vs Boston. He had to score to extend it and did with that exact move.
I don't get how anybody can argue with using Jooris again the next chance you get.

I don't even know what I just saw. Down 2-0, I said we have 'em right where we want 'em. Down 4-0, I started to slowly skip forward thru the game as there's no way, no way we could come back. EFF me, at 4-2 I started watching again and I knew would would make it back. Schlemko almost had it in the shootout. What a game by Russell. Most beautiful single point game I've ever seen.
On a day the Oilers lose a 3 goal lead and lose, the Flames come back from a 4 goal deficit and get a point. After a game like this, there's no way this team doesn't make the playoffs!
