It was, a very lazy play, reminder of Andersson of years gone by.
But really, there are very few times where it looks like the Flames have any unified attack.

Thought they were fine in the first, then the fatigue really showed in the second when the Canucks pushed after the late first period goal.

But they started the third really well and had all the pressure...until that play.

In the end the coaches need to pick if Pospisil or Sharangovich are going to be the center and then stick to it.

Personally I think 17 is better at center than 76 but I'm not the coach.

Huberdeau - Sharangovich - Kuzmenko: 118 minutes, 64.7% xGF

Over the last two seasons those lines have performed well in somewhat small samples together.

Right now Pospisil looks like the odd fit with Kuzmenko and Huberdeau, and to me Shrangovich is not fitting with the 2 man game that Zary and Kadri like to play. Switch those guys.

Give them a bit of an extended run and try to see if they can find some consistency and chemistry.

These are the correct lines. Nothing else is close.
