No second line, like pretty much for the past 8 years.
Lindholm looks very average this trip if we are talking top guys.

JG is creating each shift.

How is Markstrom getting thrown under the bus in this instance?

Maybe the dumbed post in the thread. And that is saying something.

Markstrom has not been great for the last bit. There’s no denying that. That comment was more kidding around but he hasn’t been great lately.

Ya definitely the dumbed. Thumbs up.

A general statement….how do the players know what is and isn’t a penalty in this NHL anymore? Early season - every cross check called. Now back to normal where a guy eats 4 or 5 cross checks along the board on a pick battle. Lots of holding again and no calls. Every game seems to be different. It shouldn’t be that hard to call the rules and make it at least 80% consistent. Now it seems it’s 50/50 if it will be called or not.

As for the Flames it is clear we need secondary scoring threats and a faster moving PP. love the Kucherov and Stamkos one-timer threats. Dangerous!! But we seem so slow and weak on the PP.

Ok cause out of all those comments that one is ridiculous.

Markstrom is a legit starter and one of the better ones at that.

Flames have a good starter and backup

Yes they do. Just not lately and the numbers support that.
