[GT] Flames vs. Colorado! Can the PP2 return to glory????

[Beninho]

Wake up call, defense has been letting them walk in all game.

Hanifin and Monahan with a very bad period

[Bonded]

Two pretty ugly goals

Love the guy to death but there's one word he cannot help butcher. And uses far too frequently.

And that 2nd Avs goal was weak sauce all the way around.

[DropIt]

Flames pretty badly out played. Probably lucky to he tied TBH. Monahan, Hanifin and Rittich could all be better

[KootenayFlamesFan]

Not the greatest period. At least we know they can do much better.

Aye, that was not a good period for #23.

I expect a big Flames push in the 2nd

Johnny looked electric that shift but makes a bad decision with the puck causing a 3 on 2.

[OldSam]

Coach looks absolutely pissed. I would imagine there will be some choice words in the dressing room between periods.

And Rittich

Rittich won’t save every wide open chance in the slot

Obviously, clearly not literally Smith’s fault, but I think it’s naive to think that Rittich isn’t picking up something from Smith. And like clockwork, Smith makes a bunch of great plays with the puck, but inevitably about 6 total bonehead plays per season that end up in his own net. Rittich has 2 in the past 4 days.

Every goalie has a tough time with that height of a shot, handcuffed Rittich. That being said, he should have had it.

Whoever shot from the mid boards.... why? Work it down low try for a greazy goal.

[sa226]

Well I guess even after 1 isn't the worst thing in the world.

They need to shake the cobwebs and get back to it. Last 6 mins was ugly.

Rittich is allowed to have some questionable games.Every starter has them. How he bounces back is the key.

They did not dominate at all. At best it was even for much of the period, but overall the Avs were the better team.

[TheScorpion]

Powerplays:

Avs - 2
Flames - 0

Wait till that changes. Gotta get Neal crankin' em, he feels it today.

[Jeff Lebowski]

Just come out with a better effort. Skate! Move the puck fast, exit clean and make plays. Need to have their heads in the game if they want to win
