One of the rare games this season where Markstrom is being outplayed by the opposition goalie.

Full marks to the Canucks for sure, but let's be honest, it hasn't taken much to outwork the Flames in a long time.

Agreed. One team in a funk slowly clawing their way out. The other bumbling from one to the other with no progression.

No, the first half is what this core can be.

Peters changed his coaching style (and player usage) significantly in the second half (going from a blender loving coach with a free wheeling style to a plodding safe coach with set lines) and in the playoffs our breakouts were focused in on after game one with no counter.

A core is only as good as their utilization. When they've been utilized by NHL caliber coaches (2014-15, 2015-16 sans goaltending, 2018-19 pre ASB) they've been a pretty good, exciting team.

When we get a coach who has won at least an AHL championship you can say it is the core.

Jeebus. Gaudreau couldn’t put that away.

Ritchie actually looks good on the line.

Ya, flames fans have always been a little more conservative. Even in the early 80s apparently

I don't know what constitutes a high danger shot, but I'm pretty sure I haven't seen it.

Good thing the Canucks scored on their own net, or we'd be looking at 3 straight losses to one of the worst teams in the NHL.

Halfway through and down by two against one of the league's worst teams. It's not just the jerseys looking like 1998 right now.

Both.

The Flames played a transition game all year, then went conservative, chip it out, chip it in, for the playoffs. They completely bailed on what had been working for them.

This team can't play that way.

Chucky has had two and shot at Holtby's chest both times.
