It doesn’t necessarily lead to “soft” goals, but means he’s not making any of those saves where you get a bit lucky on a deflection like Gagner’s and the puck just hits the goalie

It’s remarkable that the team is as close to a playoff spot as they are with a .981 PDO which is bottom 5. The only teams with worse PDO are Anaheim, Chicago, Columbus, and Montreal and three of those teams are favourites for Bedard right now

?

Those are all bad teams and PDO correctly reflects it

I just don't get why our PP cannot improve. It's been the difference all season

Andersson doesn’t shoot, and they don’t crash or create traffic.

Markstrom wasn't the problem. The problem is they weren't finding enough passing lanes, neither in the neutral zone (to get across the blueline with the puck on a stick) nor the offensive zone (to make the goalie move laterally for a shot). When we needed a goal we were making safe offensive plays as if we were tied or ahead, or had all the time in the world and a goal would be inevitable. I'd like to see more ambition.

Sutter hasn’t been way worse this season. His decisions are magnified due to the gaping offensive hole left from one of the best lines in hockey last year.

Pretty typical loss of this season. Not much that needs to be added.

For something different I'm wondering how much of a difference maker Kylington would actually have been this year. I get that people are looking for answers for a mediocre season but not sure he would solve the key issues like save percentage, scoring or powerplay. He would have slotted in as the #5 if he had been here from training camp. Now after missing so much time he probably would get #6 ice time and maybe a conditioning stint. And we're talking about sliding Stone out of the lineup who is a fine #6 anyway.

That’s why I’m saying the Flames are a bit fortunate to be where they are in the standings. Generally when your PDO is .981 and you’re bottom 5 in the league in PDO you’re in the running for a lottery pick.

To be in a playoff spot is great and at some point that should turn around for them a little bit here from both a shooting and save percentage perspective

Maybe this game will be a wake up call for Sutter to see that Looch does not belong in the 2nd. The lines are fine otherwise, I would just swap Lucic and Rosie and it's mindboggling that it has not been done yet

Honestly can't believe some have Markstrom as the focus with two deflected goals, and a fluky bounce for a ten bell slot opportunity as the ones that beat him.

Check the agenda at the door ...

I am warming up to Huberdeau because he should probably have at least 10 more points if his teammates could finish but the shine has really come off Kadri for me. Makes some lazy plays and can’t pass.

[sonq]

It is absolutely hilarious how CP praises Sutter when the team wins (even after an ugly win) , but when they lose (even after a good game), he's being called out as an outdated coach who does not know how to coach anymore. Keep it up boys

[Monahammer]

Imo it is clear that it isn't a style of play issue. We are mostly beating other teams while playing, just not talented enough to create game breaking moments or talent goals on a consistent basis.

We need to change up the mix. Treliving was put in a hard place this summer and changed things dramatically, it was a good first step. Still needs a bit of tweaking though. The talent level and the player mix is wrong.

Connors play was a pass, not a fluke bounce. Not to be nit-picky. But it was a beauty high skill play and unfair to call a fluke.

Kadri looks like he loses focus at times. Not consistent effort throughout games.

I'll have to look again.

Looked like it hit him and bounced back to him from my first viewing. That's certainly how the television crew last night and the morning show this morning described it.

Which is why I find it odd that Sutter keeps praising him for being "old school"

edit: i thought it was a fluke too until I heard about it on the post game Jets youtube show

How come you didn't post this galaxy brained analysis here that you posted on the other message board? Pretty funny analysis coming from a fan of a Bowness coached team.

I believe what Marcoux is saying is that Markstrom overplays the initial wide shot, rather than covering the net. He should be blocking between the potential deflection and the net rather than trying to glove a puck that's going wide, which stretches him out and leaves holes in the event the puck changes directions.
