[GT] Flames at Wild.

[Dragomir]

This team honestly sucks, tanking and rebuilding is a better option than squeaking into the playoffs and getting swept. It’s not a well built team and their luck has run out.

I just don't think this edition of the Flames is good enough to overcome poor goaltending. Last season they could score themselves out of games like this but offense isn't coming easy for this team like last season.

That’s when you butterfly and take away the along the ice shots. Higher shots are probably not making it through.

Rittich may not be the guy if he's already burnt out. It's only halfway through the regular season at the, nevermind the playoffs.

He definitely may not be The Guy. I think he really is a 1A/1B guy who should probably play two and sit one. 50 starts is probably as much as he might be able to give and that might even be too much.

Seriously tired of crappy goaltending. This team for whatever reason cannot develop or find decent goalies.

[Saint Troy]

Ridiculous that Talbot didn’t get the start, you win you keep playing at this point of the season.

[dissentowner]

We are going to win this game. They are going to come out hard to start the 2nd.

I think we’ll be seeing more from Cam from here on out.

No. Clearly you haven’t been paying attention. Frogs, dogs, turtles and pictures of cars win us hockey games.

Giordano hurt??

[Delthefunky]

Did Foligno just say we're a heavy hockey team?

[browna]

3rd goal no issue with Rittich on, though he could make himself bigger in those situations.
Goal 1, you can have that go through you from that far out, partial screen or not.
Goal 2 he over committs and leaves a few feet to that side. His far foot is almost outside of the blue paint.

This team needs the confidence of being ahead in games, just like Thursday, as well as the confidence that your goalie may make a few tough saves.

Agreed not sure why he didn’t start.

His entire interview was full of lies.

I think the Flames have had a slight edge in play overall.

[KootenayFlamesFan]

Poor Reider being saddled with Janko and Bennett tonight.

[GioforPM]

Aww, too bad Lindy.
