Oh it would be very very bad. Gotta win this in regulation

This.

I think we can still win it. But if we don’t, it’s probably defence and Markstrom, combined

Ok, Flames...we've done the 80's river hockey dance. Let's jump forward to 2022 and finish this strong

The Oilers seem to have an extraordinary amount of puck luck.

Cold backup versus cold starter having the worst game in... months? I dunno.

To me, Flames got cocky, didn't play tight defense. Should have ended 5-2 or so.

3rd going to be real, real interesting.


How we miss Chris Tanev.

And... TJ Brodie. He was a McDavid killer.

I think Markstrom is nervous but I have faith he will work out of this. Flames gotta do their part and pick him up. He did it for them alot in round 1.

[flambers]

Flames most definitely should win, however they have to change the goalie going into the 3rd.

[soulchoice]

Marky has a sub 900 percentage vs the Oilers this year. Get your s*** together.

wide eyed, disbelief emoji

Come on gang. Foot, throat, repeat.

Crazy to see both starting goalies absolutely #### the bed. I expected it from smith. Not from Markstrom. He needs to get his ####ing head in the game.

[Infinit47]

This is not on the defence. The Team is playing great, but Markstrom is having his worst game as a Flame.

[bubbsy]

Ugh... 5-1, 6-2. I was happy to relax a bit watching the game.

So frustrating

[nieuwy-89]

Shots are 40-18 and it’s a one goal game. Just. So. Flames.

Tough call either way though.

Backup goalies exist for a reason. They need to be ready to come in and play at any time. When the Oilers pulled Smith it was the correct decision.

[oldschoolcalgary]

Ugh...

Markstromm needs to reset big time this period

[MrMike]

Sutter sets them straight and we come out with a dominant third period and never look back.

[Angelino]

Is Jeff Reese available to suit up in goal?

[I_H8_Crawford]

Doesn't Markstrom have some of his career worst numbers vs the Oilers?

Dude needs to figure his poop out vs EDM fast
