[GT] Flames at Los Angeles 04/04/22

[Moneyhands23]

Team just isn't playing the structured game that got them here. It feels like it's been a long time since we had a good defensive effort. Feels like a long time since we have won a game without giving up a lead.

Exactly, bogus calls ruining the game.

Markstrom needs a long break. Pull him now Darryl. Do it !

This appears the major flaw in Darryl's thinking. Way too much Markstrom!

Markstrom cannot make a high danger chance save anymore. Every good chance goes in.

Flames finally got a break on a lucky bounce 10 seconds in. Then proceeded to piss it away with weak board play, dumb penalties, and bad goaltending.

Pull Markstrom now, this is enough. Dude is a joke.

[direwolf]

Unfortunate to be down after a period that the Flames completely dominated. That penalty call on Stone was total bulls***.

Embarrassing for the refs to give up a 5 on 3 after that embarrassing Derzi dive.

[browna]

Durzi should be seeing that highlight in his future contract negotiations for being softer then a kitten to get a roughing call from Gaudreau, and then, playing dead for 3 seconds.

About as demasculating as possible.

Is this 2018 all over again? White hot regular season and then just sputtering into the post season?

Hopefully Vladar plays 2 of the next 3 games.

I was just thinking the same ####ing thing.

I sense a lot of posts not aging well in a couple hours

Yeah, so Gaudreau is just supposed to let 3 Kings beat up Tkachuk without trying to pull one of them away. Do you really think that 150 lb Gaudreau can steer wrestle a 250 lb opponent who’s nearly a foot taller? Refs are either very gullible or have a vested interest in the outcome.

The Flames could get a stupid penalty just for being on the ice. At least 3 high sticks and countless hooks uncalled.

Maybe Johnny gets up for a Gordie Howe Hat Trick tonight.

The Flames are 10th in the league.
I wouldn't call that a white hot regular season.

Looks like the flames have abandoned that style of play.
It was a fantastic year though. Oh well.

I really hope so.
Lots of hockey left, but this game is already looking a lot like the last few losses.

NHL officials not too high on the intellect scale.

I would put money on them not even knowing their latest call would result in a long 5 on 3.

Certainly feels familiar.
