With their schedule, it's a loooong drawn out whimper

Our “scoring chances” are also significantly worse.

Goal 1: 2 on 1
Goal 2: 2 on 0 breakaway goal.
Goal 3: breakaway goal

…how man breakaways do the Flames have tonight? How many odd man rushes do the Flames have tonight?

Yeah, I really don't see what he brings that a younger guy couldn't at this point. He was worth the gamble, but he didn't pan out. Fine.
Play a younger guy.

Anyone else still sigh when watching Vegas? So unfair.

I have never disliked a Flames team, even in the dark young guns era. I really, really dislike this Flames team!!!

Kylington is eligible to be selected no matter what.

I suppose they may be hiding him a bit. They may think it’s unlikely that Seattle picks a guy they haven’t seen play for a year. But that’s a pretty far fetched notion.

Not all shots are even

How many 2 on 0's have the Flames had

3 on 1
2 on 0
And break away

You hope for a big save but it's not like it's a fair comparison

The double standard because of draft position and hype is insane. Kylington is pretty much equivalent at this stage.

I agree with the double standard. It's as if they're oblivious to Kylington's strengths and only focus on the mistakes.

I chalk it up to size bias.

It's not a tank. They're just doing what they've done all year and not show up for big games. Too many passengers.

Best chances were a couple close in shots in which Hellebuyck didn’t have to move laterally at all.

Good point. Far fetched but possible!

And a couple bars

I used to live in Vegas. What a sh*thole. The whole vibe they have there is ######y. Those pregame intros are/were horrid.

[NewFan]

Didn't know that flames shoot some to the net. May be dumping is counted as a shoot?

By what 5 shots? Markstrom isn't to blame.

There are just so few players to like right now. I find myself "cheering" for the lower-skilled, but hard-working guys like Ryan and Nordstrom.
The guys I used to enjoy so rarely put in the effort to required to compete, it seems.

0 goals for. But props for using once again once again in the same sentence.

[Manhattanboy]

I hope we haven’t damaged Markstrom.

Those too, but still the same kind of chances.

The bar right before the last goal - was Chuckie trying to sell it to the ref? He was right there and saw it didn’t go in, but raised his hand.
