It's not the total reason, but how has Sigalet kept his job here so long after so many years of crap goaltending? He even got promoted this year....

Flames need to go after Ian Clark.

The Flames have actually played well, which probably tells us all we need to know about this group.

[dino7c]

Maybe, MAYBE one goal is on Markstom because of a rebound on a point blank shot

kicked in goal and 2 perfectly executed odd man rushes

[GG51]

Anything good in the next draft?

[direwolf]

This team stinks. Unless they can find it in themselves to string a few wins together, this season is over.

Hopefully we'll see some big changes this summer and Sutter will actually have something to work with for next year.

See but that’s exactly what we are. Fold at any sign of adversity. We are soft.

[Macho0978]

If only we lost on Saturday. Would in line for top 6 pick right now

[DoubleK]

Is this rock bottom? Or does it get worse from here.

[GioforPM]

Dammit Chucky, don’t do that.

Markstrom is a top 5 or 6 goalie in the North Division.

If that is the case, give him the contract to head up the goalie development department.

Even the rebound he made the first save and nobody picked up Scheifele. Probably still need a save there but I don’t think Markstrom has been an issue this year. At all.

Goalies have off games. This might be one of them. He hasn’t had many.

Is that what you’d prefer?

Dube is an NHL-calibre player. Half the lineup tonight doesn't belong in this league.

I'd settle for consistently good officiating.

Flames being exposed time and time again as an unskilled group.

It’s all Blasty’s fault. Look brutal, play brutal.

[timbit]

Markstrom has to be almost perfect as the high end Fs are not only struggling to score, but are liabilities defensively!

Now, however, they are NOT playing the right way at all.
Yikes

[NewFan]

Is there any skill's coach with the team. How come every player so bad at passing, shooting and skate with puck? And so weak to stand on their feet.

Among 66 goalies who've played a minimum 4 games, Markstrom ranks 39th in GSAA/60 at -0.09 at 5v5.

That number will surely be worse after this game.
