The first line especially was top notch, love to see them going at it so effectively. (By the first line, I mean the 3M line, of course.)
Gaudreau was weak tonight. Turnovers, feeling the physical pressure, poor passing.

We could very well miss the playoffs by 1 point.

I've always wondered about that.

If I'm a defenceman with a lead in the final seconds for an important game, I obliterate the closet opponent's stick with a ridiculous slash then go grab hold of the next closet stick I can grab.

Delayed penalty where the other team has to either give the puck away and risk a faceoff loss, or keep possession but the first guy has to race to the bench for a new stick.

For me Brodie made mistake on the goal. May be he didn't know how much time left, but why he is chasing the guy when Gio with him. Just hug the post 2 second and it's done.

And it won't be because of this game, it will be on any of the other eggs they've laid this season.

Since his bat flip in Edmonton, in Rittich's last 9 games:

.888 save percentage
3.59 goals against average
-0.97 GSAA
29 goals against on 21.48 xGA

You can't show off like that and then #### the bed as your team fights for the Playoffs.

Edit: I say this as someone who loves Rittich and absolutely LOVED the bat flip in Edmonton, but it is frustrating that he's been a let down since that moment

Top line all being minuses with no points and lucic doing nothing against a team taking liberties all night seems great to you?

Thought the Flames played a solid game. Lots of compete. They are playing a much more desperate style of hockey and it’s starting to tie together some really strong efforts. If they can stay hungry I’m not concerned about them getting in.

Can’t blame Rittich on the OT goal. Just bad luck with the shot block.. rolling/bouncing puck and a knuckle puck to the back of the net. Just bad luck....

Yeah I thought Johnny and Monahan were buzzing all night, they should've combined for a goal or two. Johnny especially was awesome. Lindholm was the weak link on that line, I didn't think he looked very engaged.

Lucic made some excellent passes and threw a couple huge hits

I guess we'll agree to disagree then. I dont feel the same at all.

Is Johnny ever going to stop firing the puck from impossible angles? Why does he keep doing this.

Gio following the guy behind the net flushed him out so the guy had only one way to come out, not two. Brodie recognized that and then came from the other side to prevent the wrap around. When they know that there was just a few seconds left, it’s a decent desperation play, because any disruption or catching a piece of the puck and that’s the game.

If Brodie stands and stays out front and that guy gets half way around the net and banks it off Brodie, the complaint would be why didn’t he go behind the net, or, if the guy reversed back behind the net to the same side he came from,would be asking why Gio didn’t go behind the net (and say he’s too tired from being off for 10 games).

Bottom line I think the defense played it well given that there was 3 seconds left when the move started, not 10 or something. I’d have to see the forward configuration, but, on the eye test live and watching a few replays, as mentioned, the biggest struggler on the goal looked clearly to be a flailing akward Rittich.

I've never heard a defenseman criticized for not chasing someone behind your net. It's a terrible play all the time.

Umm what does this have to do with tonight game? Also, I’m pretty sure he pays the bills so who gives a crap where he lives or if he’s watching the games?
