Zadorov's fault on that last goal. You can't just let the guy pass you around the boards untouched.

[Monahammer]

Anyone who still reads bo levi is a chump.

[flylock shox]

Not a great game from the Flames, but maybe a great game for them.

They need to face this type of playoff style defending where nothing comes easy. Playing the Oilers just develops bad habits.

Flames also haven't had a shutout in a while...

[taxbuster]

Disappointing game. Sloppy and tired, often slow to the puck. Against a team that played the Greasers last night...and lost. Ugh.

If they don't wake up and start playing the way they can, it's gonna be a short post-season.

[Nsd1]

Teams been lucky with injuries so far. Hopefully that luck hasn’t ran out.

[OldDutch]

They’re not losing 9-5. Both teams scored 4 with the goalie in net. They out shot.

Not all roses but their not getting run out of the rink since that Vancouver game like over a month ago.

Seems like a tuning exercise

[flames_fan_down_under]

Frustrating frustrating loss. The effort is there but the execution and focus on details in their end is costing them right now.

[jar_e]

This crazy schedule seems to finally be catching up to them. Flames looked on par or more tired then the Blues.

[Johnny Makarov]

The Flames will lose every home game when the idiots do the wave.

No need to panic but sure don’t like how they are playing.

I don’t think the back to back element is that meaningful
But they just aren’t sharp.

[fire_starter]

Wtf happened to Toffoli? He doesn't look like the same player he was after first getting traded over.

[JohnnyB]

Couldn't watch after the first period. What happened? Massively outshot them but lose 6-4 with another late go ahead goal for the opposition, and two EN goals? No good.

[Manhattanboy]

Nice to be back at the Dome for the first time in over 2 years.

Seeds of doubt creeping in for the first time in a long while.

He’s always been a bit streaky

[kermitology]

Paper tigers.. they had me going. They’re going to burn out in 5 games.

[tvp2003]

Ugh. Worked to get the equalizer, then they stopped working. Backlund with a good chance to try and tie it, did he even get a shot off?

Time to get out of town and start building some momentum down the stretch. Markstrom needs a night off.

[timbit]

Pretty simple.

Poor puck management and horrible defensive awareness.

Especially the top line.

[taxbuster]

Elliotte asking my question about Marky.

[flames_fan_down_under]

Top line was very pedestrian all night, especially so in their own end. The bottom 6 did their job, top 6 not so much tonight.
