How often does a forward get a hit like that and Trouba is not gonna trade off for Lucic

He should be looking to throw big hits but nobody is skating into him

Lucic doesn’t have the speed to throw big hits often anymore.

This season has been so weird. The Flames looked so good at the start of the season, then Sutter changed up the lines, and since then, it’s been a rare game when things have looked easy for the Flames. They just don’t seem to have any game breakers.

Well, the reality is, they do not have a game breaker on the team.

Been a quality NHL game. Just sucks that the Flames are trailing.

He coasts around making soft passes in the defensive zone and getting absolutley caved in on his coverage.

Do people really believe that Lucic or Markstrom are the reason Flames are trailing?

You've gone off your rocker tonight...

Lucic can hit guys on the forecheck…unless he can’t, at which point he shouldn’t be playing…

If you think I’ve gone mad now, just wait and see what happens when we don’t trade Lucic at the deadline….

Kelly go work for the Rangers and marry Trouba whydon'tcha?

[Tbull8]

What is Hrudey even going on about..

[getoverit]

Big Z time to step up with a big hit or two. Not all on Lucic. Need to play smart

[GioforPM]

Nice looking rush, miss the net

And we’re just gonna get older and slower!

Jesus what a horrible stat for the flames

[Locke]

Thanks for that Stat SN.

Flames are 0-11-1 when trailing after 2 periods.

Nice.

Noooice....

Yeah that PP is brutal!

Kadri is wearing some goat horns tonight. Bad giveaway for a breakaway, then skated into Trouba. He does tend to get hit hard (remember Gio’s hit).

[GioforPM]

Nice work Hanifin

[Nelson]

Lucic with Toffoli and Lindholm instead of Ruzicka

[soulchoice]

With the exception of the one nice pass in the slot to Andersson in the first, I don't recall Huberdeau doing much of anything.
