Never seen the team make so many bad and forced passes as the last 2 games. Turn overs like crazy. Only thing I can think is they can't handle the speed of these opponents.

Need to score a goal in this period to have any chance. Some urgency would be nice.

I think the uber rich are not affected by the economy. Only the uber rich can afford to attend games, unfortunately.

Yikes our defensive coverage is terrible. Bouma was lost on that shift as usual.

Flames are too slow getting on the puck. No urgency. Saw this against the Lightning as well. Definitely shows the Flames aren't close to playing with the top teams in the league.

Hard to believe the Jackets have six points on the Flames in the standings, and have five games in hand.

Jokipaakka really struggles in a fast game.

They should know their best chance is if they get one before the break. So where the #### is the urgency?

I wish they'd stop hanging their heads after a couple bad breaks.

This is where I miss Bob.

Jackets are boring the Flames to death.

No idea, whole team is feeling sorry for themselves some motivation from the coach would be nice.

Totally agree. You could sit either Bouma or Brouwer.

11 shots for is pretty disappointing.

Sure you have - first 20 games.

[ComixZone]

We just can't deal with fast forechecking teams. All we do is chip it up the boards to get it out of the defensive zone, and IF we're lucky enough to Succeed at that - then we chip it into the offensive zone and never regain possession.

And no a trade is not made because of a 2 game losing streak.

We are in a very tight race, couple of losses and you are on the outside looking in.

Those seemed forced to me these seem to be for no reason. Also hyperbole.

We need to reunite Gaudreau and Monahan.

hit the friggin net

[bubbsy]

Team looks terrible again. Have no idea how to break up jackets cycle.

Anything below amazing goaltending and this is a bad team. Ugh.
