[GT] Blackhawks vs Flames

Hard to blame Markstrom
Nobody shows up
He is doing his part with the usual .850

You might think my post is solely blaming Markstrom. But the fact is the team doesn't show up for him. Read into that what you will.

Fact is Sutter continues to play a goalie his team has no confidence in, deserved or not.

[Nelson]

Holy hell

[GioforPM]

Raddysh alone in front.

If anyone should play badly because of no confidence in teammates it’s Markstrom tonight.

[Manhattanboy]

Booooooo!!!!

Sutter might need to rethink the defensive coverage against younger, quicker teams.

Against quicker teams they really struggle with chasing and then guys get in behind our team.

[TrentCrimmIndependent]

If we can get "10 points out" do we get to see Phillips and Pelletier in the top 6 full time?

Sign me up for that

This team isn't making noise without good markstrom or healthy tanev

Damn shame. He’s a great person.

So what happened? He's only sucked since the Edmonton playoff series. Or did I answer my own question?

Problem is nobody is taking a $6 million cap hit for 3 years on a sub .900 goalie without giving us garbage back.

[Rejean31]

Million dollar players. 10 cent brains!

[3rd liner]

Jesus Christ. Just put the game on. Flames decide to try and suddenly no-name goalie can’t be beat.

[Nelson]

Second nice deflection in front by Pelletier

Hey he is 5th on their depth chart, you never know

Well then the players are the bigger problem, imo.

Pelletier likely, Phillips, unlikely. That is my prediction.

[GioforPM]

Lindholm is playing tonight. Hadn’t noticed.

[AFireInside]

The second line looks good with Pelletier already.

Now if we can just get Chuck Kobasew.. I mean Dillon Dube off the top line we'll be all set...

[skcli]

Can we dress the Wranglers for the next game? It can be more watchable than this team

[Nelson]

The defence has been handing out grade A chances all the time tonight

Imagine if Markstrom was getting pelted with 20 shots a period and posting a .33 SV% and still having given up four goals...

But .850 SV% (or whatever) is our best player.

[TrentCrimmIndependent]

Can they set up .. tune in after the break
