Maaan, I miss when a lead going into the 3rd was basically a guaranteed win.

Multiple missed assignments and poor choices this period. Probably not going to end well if this continues.

It’s a game of momentum. The Blues have all of it. They were given it by our goalie.

Weak goaltending has definitely shaken the team’s resolve, that’s for sure. Not to mention giving the blues momentum when they really had nothing going.

Hope they can win back the momentum here.

I’m fine with letting that go for this reason. I didn’t see a replay but Ruzicka looked to be holding the stick and embellishing the entire time. Why stop the game for that?

Yeah, if McDavid embellishes against Calgary I prefer a non-call to 4 on 4.

Edit: I didn’t really like the change when they went to it from 5 on 5 with the two guys off the ice.

Flames learning that you have to keep up the work ethic for 60 minutes, not just 40

[Mr.Coffee]

Ruzicka was 100% holding the stick on that play.

[Flame On]

As always two things are possible. The D is having a slump in-game, and the keeper letting in softies.

Of course it's the goalie's fault. I don't dare call out the skaters for playing poorly. They get a pass.

[Manhattanboy]

Goddam I want a ####ing win. Not a point. A ####ing win!!

[Paulie Walnuts]

Not every save is going to be easy that why you pay more to goalies who you expect to make saves. Breakdowns happens.

Markstrom and his weak goaltending threw thr team who was controlling the game into a spiral.

It's like that McDavid goal all over again. When you give up peewee league goals your teammates are going to be deflated.

For sure. You've swayed me. It's all Markstrom's fault.

[Freddy]

As frustrating as the game is, it’s also been a very entertaining 3rd so far.

That first goal was awful this period. The second goal was a wrist shot from 40 feet with Rasmus gliding through his view (something NHL goalies deal with on about 35% of the saves they make, a player in front of them). Just horrific goaltending.
