So hard on fans emotions when we’ve outshot our opponents 12-3 but are losing 2-0.

At this point it’s coaching. The same things are happening every game and they make zero adjustments.

It’s time to make some changes.

Skinner yapping at zadorov from the bench there. STFU skinner you little muppet. Would like to see you do that when you’re on the ice with Z.

It's our MO this year. Every goalie is a Vezina winner.

At least Edmonton realized that Jacky Campbell is a sieve and quickly moved on to the backup.

Sutter and his stubbornness keeps tossing out Markstrom who clearly is cooked at least for the season.

Sutter is doing an disservice to his team.

It was there’ but it wasn’t a total “can’t see the puck” screen. Last year he was great at finding the puck despite screens. The one thing it did was prevent him from coming out and cutting the angle more.

Usually he saves the blocker side ones though. It’s usually the glove he has given up this year.

Sutter wants to win his way, and if the team can't play that way and win you get this season. Changes will not be made, his favourite players will get too many minutes, and he will be a prick to the media because he is God's gift to hockey.

How many of the Flames shots were dangerous though? I’d say zero outside of mangiapane’s post.

Can’t watch today. 11 shots, no goals? Sounds about right.

Is it time to panic about Markstrom?

FFS what is Sutter seeing in his game that he thinks he gives us a better chance to win?

Has Sutter lost it completely? Legit question.

FTFY. This is how Sutter wants them to play. He has succeeded in sucking all the life and creativity out of the team.

If it was any coach other than Sutter, they’d have been canned by now. Sutter shouldn’t be an exception.

There was also a point shot that bounced shortly after being taken earlier in the period where it just missed wide, and Marky saw it go by him and you could physically see the sigh/head tilt. Dude totally lost sight of the puck. He’s not tracking well this season.

**oooofff just looking at the highlights of that 2nd goal again. That’s just straight up awful. The screen isn’t really there.

No one is scared of the Flames. They are advertised as this big rough and tumble team.

Trouba exposed the fact that they aren’t.

The team looks SO uninspired and looked like they have quit on the coach and their goalie!

The PP really reflects why the team offense is such ####. Such a tremendous lack of puck moving/carrying skill on the roster. Pretty much plays as a team of grinders. Very easy to contain.

Johnny/Tkachuk were all the offense last year, with Eat Bread and Lindholm playing a side roles. Those two remaining haven't stepped up. In fact Eat Bread has regressed. And Huby hasn't lived up to the billing.

Criticize Sutter all you want, but he's working with very little. His comments early in the season about it not being a skill team is very true.

It's crazy how if it wasn't for Markstrom, this team probably would be leading the division despite this awful offense.
