[GT] Calgary Flames @ Washington Capitals 11-25-2022: SN, NBCSWA - RADIO SN960

[Infinit47]

Lucic takes a brutal penalty and throws the game away. Out on the very next shift.

Sutter has gone insane.

Obviously we're not in the room, but I cannot imagine playing with any sort of confidence as a player when I know our team has a sieve in net

[Cali Panthers Fan]

Another goal goes right through Markstrom. I know it's Ovie, but still...

He was making good steps for a while, but this game is a big step back.

Markstrom underwhelming again, but hownis he taking the most #### for a game when the Flames havent scored

[taxbuster]

This team is just crap.

Poor on execution - can't make 2 complete passes in the O Zone. Blech.

No drive to the net. All perimeter shots. Fumble the puck all over the ice. Makes Washington look great!

Honestly I'm not in that room but it feels like all fun and creativity has been ripped from the team again.

Felt the same way in 19-20 after the loss to the Avs.

They give up nothing, but they also take absolutely no risks to try to generate anything. But in games where you have the worse goaltending it's going to look a lot like this.

Feels like the coaching staff completely overreacted a bit to the loss to the Oilers, went and changed lines / strategy, and team hasn't found it's mojo again since.

Call up some youth, and fix the lines.

more often than not Markstrom has been below 900 sv% so far this season. That's just not acceptable from your starter.

Because he let in 3 terrible goals?

Teams play different when they trust their goalie.

[Toonage]

Kuemper shutout the Flames the last time he played them too, with Colorado last season if I recall.

Markstrom games with a SV% > .900: 6

Markstrom games with a SV% < .900: 10

Embarrassing, really.

[Reggie Dunlop]

Good game.

[BlindMilwaukee]

I’m unable to watch due to work but has Ritchie been a noticeable forechecker?

The sole reason I was looking forward to him getting back in the lineup.

I really don't see at any point where he was taking good steps. He's had 3 games above .900 in November. One against a Philly team that was not icing an NHL caliber forward group

Crazy how people don't understand this.

How can a team play with ANY sort of confidence with that kind of play in net?

[Macindoc]

Lack of pace, lack of effort. At this point they look like they’ve given up and are just saving what energy they can for tomorrow

[KootenayFlamesFan]

Not watching the game, but zero goals?

Tough to win games that way.

One goal against the Flames in his last 3 games. Stopped 118 of 119 shots so far in that time.
