Stupid penalties and awful goaltending, ugly period.

Just got home and checked the score. What the hell? Are the Flames hungover maybe? Too much partying after beating Edmonton the other night?

Talbot definitely should be getting more games. Both to not completely tire out Rittich on the final leg of the season, as well Rittich has honestly just been average, and has let in a far more weak goals then tolerable for your number #1 goalie. Playing him the amount of times they have like he's an elite #1 goalie isn't ideal based on his performance.

For Talbot to be sporting a .913 playing in the terrible batch of games he has this season is impressive. BSD has more great games than not but they'd be smart to spread out the starts a little more.

Hard to pile on Ward. He never signed on to be a head coach, and given his age and history as an assistant coach maybe that's all he wanted.

So one good game against the Oilers and the Flames think they don't need to try anymore. Brutal.

Also, remember when there were rumors the Flames were looking into Travis Green? That would have been great.

Oh look. Flames down on the scoreboard. Here come the "<insert name> sucks and needs to be waived right away" posters. Welcome back, guys. Missed you on Friday night.

I think I only noticed Johnny out there once and it wasn't for a good play.

If he wants to be moved out east so be it but it would be nice if he started playing a bit more like he cared in the meantime. Maybe there's something going on behind the scenes but he's just not the same player we have seen over his career.

Not looking for an argument but do you believe that effort /compete level/ discipline /execution is anywhere close to what we saw two nights ago, in the first period.

5-0? 3-0? Embarrassing period, anyway you look at it.

Each and every player has the responsibility to be mentally and emotionally prepared and ready to win.

Very few were up to the task .

Maybe I'm crazy but I'd like to see these PP units:

PP1

Lucic
Gaudreau - Mangiapane
Monahan
Giordano

PP2

Tkachuk
Backlund - Lindholm
Ryan
Brodie

Normally I would be pissed but I'm really not right now. Just like game 6 against the Canucks.

Is this really what the issue is? Has anyone in the know said this, or is it just conjecture?

Sucks to give away points in such a tight race as well. Maybe they have some come back magic in them still. Can't really let the Nucks get another goal though

Flames came out ready to play a team like the Oilers. Nucks beating the Flames at their own game.
