[PGT] Flames lose to Blues 4-3 OTL

[GullFoss]

Flames played fine. Got two points in two games on the road. Good enuf

I feel like a lot of the time Markstrom gets an unreasonable amount of blame when we lose, but tonight was 100% on him.
2nd and 3rd goals should not have gone in.
He made some good saves, but those two were just bad bad goals.

Sending the rookie to do media on 960. Embarrassing.

Yeah Sutter let in those two softies after a dominant first two periods! What a sieve/

Thoughts and prayers for Pat Steinberg on overtime tonight.

I would start looking at a trade for Markstrom. Surely he wants a fresh start somewhere else.

And it looks like the large majority of fans want him gone.

[Flame On]

I think the most frustrating thing for me this year, is there's not one single person that's completely reliable on the team this year. Markstrom is spotty at best by his own admission even. There's no go-to person for game breaking goals. No one person that you can say "yeah they'll get us a goal". Even the D are simply lackluster and aren't performing reliably by any means. As a result each game is just hoping... and that's not a winning recipe.

Kinda comical at this point how we are now halfway through the season and there's still some people defending Markstrom lol

I get the sense Calgary plays nervous in from of him.

[beaster]

He's 32 years old not 22, how long are you going to baby him trying to get his confidence back

Very disappointing loss. Vladar is our best chance for points, and has been ALL season. Huberdeau poor decision in the offensive zone in OT and Kadri backchecking hard until he hit the blue line and controller disconnects.

[flamingred89]

Pretty tired of this Jacob guy. Seriously wonder how many points he's cost his team this season. Gotta be 10 or so.

And Kadri and Huberdeau have the chemistry of oil and water in 3on3. That needs to be broken up asap.

The King's made a hard decision on their underperforming goalie of the future who had just signed a big deal. They have absolutely taken off since then. Wonder if the Flames have to guts to make some hard decisions about Jacob.

At least this was a terrible result for the Oilers. So there's that.

[Johnny Makarov]

Well at least we didn't choke a 3 goal lead after the first 5 mins and finish without a point like the Canucks. lol

[TrentCrimmIndependent]

the body of work in OT this season is just comical though

they can't even blind squirrel their way into one lately

aggressively bad

You’d think Huberdeau would be better but he isn’t.

Just leaking points away, sadly.

Bradley Tre Tre is staring some pretty bad contracts in the face.

Haha. Needed that.

EDIT: this was a joke, right?

Moral victory and lots to build on!

Against the blackhawks, and the Blues that were missing 8 regulars. Basically two AHL teams.

That’s good enough?

[Strange Brew]

Huberdeau is just not nearly as comfortable carrying the puck as I expected him to be.
