Take the positives and come home.
A bounce here or a bounce there and this is a totally different game.
Bennett entered beast mode and played his best game as a flame!

We looked pretty good, we scored some goals, but didn't the goaltending. Couple of the mistakes we make end up in the back of our net just like that. The guys must be so frustrated. Man, what a brutal start for this team.

[CroFlames]

I hate shootouts, always have. Such a cheap way to end a hockey game.

[adc]

Well I guess 1 point on the road is nice but with the way the Sens played that seemed like a very winnable game.

Judging by the game thread I imagine Hiller will get a ton of hate here. He was great, I will give him a 4/10, but the defensive effort was pathetic, 0/10. Hopefully if Brodie gets back to 100% the defense will improve but if teams are watching that game tonight I think the Wideman and Russell rumours will start dying down.

Outside of that minute in the 3rd, Flames probably have this game.

And Andersson robbing Gaudreau... damnit.

didn't see the game, but saying he was great, and giving him 4/10 contradict each other, that's a fail grade...

[kirant]

I...honestly don't know how to feel. That was the first game in a long time where I really felt neither team deserved to win. Ottawa gave up some really silly goals, but Hiller was just as bad at points. Defense is still a mess...don't know who's covering that for the Flames but there's a lot of work needed on that end.

1 point is good in that sort of situation but 2 felt attainable.

Glad Bennett got his first goal this year. Hopefully he'll start picking up momentum.

[Ashasx]

2-7-1 is just... ugh

[Saint Troy]

Flames get average NHL goaltending they win easily, Hiller is junk.

[Moneyhands23]

There was some life to that game!

[driveway]

No playoffs for us this year. We boned ourselves before Halloween.

[sureLoss]

at least Bennett got the monkey off his back

He was great, but you give him a failing grade?

[Enoch Root]

for the 10th game in a row, the Flames lost the goaltending battle

shots were 38-23

it should never have gone to OT

great game form Bennett though

[combustiblefuel]

How this years falmes make me feel so far.

[Erick Estrada]

Hiller didn't make any clutch saves but the last three Senator goals the goal scorer was left to stand around the crease open. That simply can't happen and the coaches need to start preaching some structure in their own end as far too often it's a fire drill.

[FlamesNation23]

I guess it will be ortio and rammo for the next bit here. Goaltending is just not good enough

[bubbsy]

what a weird game.. flames looked good enough to win, yet all their goals seemed flukey as hell.

really hope this is the start of the turnaround. liked the lines, hope hiller is ok, but ortio looked good.
