He has. I wish he’d get right in front of the net more. See also Lucic, Bennett, Leivo.

Perhaps he was joking, and showing that the lack of a high pick is no excuse for this continued futility.

...and it’s not a bad point.

Reviews the play. Benny was behind him and gaudreau was going to the net but covered. jg instead of cutting inside took the outside path but was still going to the net. Rewatch it there bud.

Rinaldo hasn't looked out of place.

Not sure if that's a compliment to Rinaldo or scathing criticism to how incompetent the rest of the team is.

I saw more screened shots and crashing to the net this afternoon when I was on the ice as the backup goalie in pickup hockey than I’ve seen from the Flames this game. Although I’m a Centre/dman not a goalie, I think I’d fare well if the Sens put me in tonight.

Still not a wide open shot like you said. He was within stick length of the boards. you are essentially say exactly what I said - he overthought getting by the D.

Last time they allowed fewer than three goals in a game was on March 1, when they won 5-1 over... Calgary. Because of course.

That is wild. And oh so depressing. Cmon Calgary. Get your heads out of your ###.

Wide open shot if he instantly fired it. He hesitates and flubbed it. He’s clutching the stick too tight. He obviously doesn’t think much of his own game right now.

I liked the shot of Lucic getting mad. I like mad Lucic.

I think Lucic is our best player right now. Said the same thing last game. This is terrifying

Wide open shot from the blue line, which was the only time a D wasn’t on top of him.

Lucic is our Jeff Shantz and someone we can build around....

Gio playing hockey looks like a Mr. Bean skit

Flames had an opportunity for an off man rush and they couldn’t even get out of their own way.
