[PGT] Flames blow it, lose 4-3 in OT in unacceptable fashion

[Inferno]

Rittich sure changed my mood tonight quick. Brutal

[colbym72]

Its crazy that it was 0.1 from the narrative in this thread being different

[MisterJoji]

Well ####. Had this one in the bag and let it slip away. But up until the last 2 minutes of the game we were definitely the better team. 3M v2.0 put on a clinic in the offensive zone and Backlund is on a whole other level right now. Rittich was good but needed to make that last save in the 3rd. Take the point and move on. If they keep putting in efforts like this there’s nothing really to complain about.

[troutman]

I can’t understand why both Brodie and Gio chased behind the net, leaving the slot open with one second left.

[scobel]

What a rollercoaster of a game. I really enjoyed watching this not so happy with results. I thought the flames played well and have gotten 5 out 6 points on this road trip so not to disappointed.

No, he would have lost his timeout, never mind you are right they changed the rule this year

[djsFlames]

Goddamn those mustard shirts.

It's mostly only that last second shift. Just lay down on the ice, blockade that bitch. Ffs dudes.

[VANFLAMESFAN]

Could have had a 4 point lead on the playoff bar with a regulation win. Instead, we only have a one point lead.

Ugh, that’s a kick in the junk.

[Johnny Makarov]

How improbable was that game tying goal by the preds? My sports betting paid me out for a Flames win in regulation! hahaha. I'm keeping it!

[kyuss275]

Great road game by flames, but somehow only get a point. Nashville must have made a deal with the devil to come out of that game with 2 points.

The Flames are generally less effective at stopping behind the net plays. I felt like Rittich was overplaying tonight too, and scrambling to get back to the middle of the net.

I know that but the nashville player skates right into rittich and pushes him down ward sucks he should of challenged it we lost anyway

[The Yen Man]

.0.1 second away from being 4 points up on thePreds to 1 point up, with Preds having two games in hand. This feels worse than a regulation loss, if I'm being honest.

Wake up man. Interim coaching like an interim.

Interim coach challenges, what we have is an animated potato. What an jackass, cripes almighty.

[Buck Murdock]

Oh well, this will make the Tampa game that much better. I'd be worried about that one if they won this game.

[GranteedEV]

Lindholm was horrible tonight. I know sometimes guys get minuses for plays they have no control over but he aeguably could have prevented three goals against.

Worth the risk, I would say.

[PaperBagger'14]

Did they add time earlier in the game or was that penalty time?

Seriously, a clear push into the goalie. Gimme a break, refs should have looked at that!

[Flash Walken]

I dunno, maybe I was watching a different game.

The guy behind the net is the least dangerous player on the ice. Why are both D going to him in a 6-5 situation? It's man to man coverage out front, easy.
