We do, they can't get it set up properly. Lindholm's playing too close to the blue line.

One of these days Neal has to do something..........anything.

We all know one day he could break out and score 2 or 3, but it's been pretty painful waiting for it to happen.

Yawn . The flames have 12/15 best chances tonight. The players between the pipes are the reason this game is what it is

There was this guy who once scored 40 goals when his job was to stand on the right circle and one time pucks.

His job is currently to stand in the slot watching Derek Ryan screw up.

The Neal and Ryan signings are really looking Brutal. Ryan has had a few good games but man. We basically replaced Brouwer and Stajan with even worse players.

Who thought before the game that we'd be left wondering if we can beat the Flyers goalie?

Smith is a very solid backup and mentor, getting starters minutes.

This has been an extremely tough game to watch, unbelievably frustrating. There have been a ton of terrible performances, but I'm particularly annoyed by James Neal tonight. Wow! Is he ever slow? I think they have to take him off PP2 because he does not help the team retrieve pucks at all. I hate saying that because I know what they're paying him.

I think the Flames should try 3 forwards and 2 defencemen on PP2. Bennett, Brodie, Andersson, Czarnik, Jankowski.

I really struggled to find 3 forwards I wanted to put on PP2.

This is one of those games where Flames should've won, but found a way to lose.

This is an exact replica of the flyers game last season with stupid Elliott making like 43 saves or something. Ugh

This to me is the big issue.

New should be one timing picks onthe pp. not Derek Ryan turning pucks over

Beat him 3 times. That should be enough with 18 shots the other way.

Smith took his gear and went home after the second.
