Not being able to convert on any of our odd man rushes is truly frustrating

WHY?
To make me scream at inanimate objects, I assume.

In that instance, it's because Tkachuk is way slower than Peitriangelo.

Something for him to work on, I guess.

You were saying the top line is always hemmed in their own zone. I just think that’s not the case you’re just noticing when they are

Tkachuk getting a bit too cute with the puck. Simple plays have a higher chance of success than trick plays

Except last game when he drove the net and scored.

Gio and TJ must be reunited soon. Gio is out of sync with Hammer and he doesn’t trust himself, and the same with TJ with Stone- I wish they would have left Kylington up

It was a heck of a back check by the blues. Didn’t look like much of an odd man rush after a second.

Agreed, its maddening.

Shoot yourself or use the forward breaking in with you. Back passing should be the play only occasionally when its the most obvious one.

When the other team’s best players are performing better than the Flames best players, the Flames have little chance of winning.

It hasn’t been close so far.

Flames are looking out classed, but it doesn’t seem far off.

Down side is I think the flames are in the unenviable position of needing an upgrade at centre, and in desperate need of another top six winger.

Hamonic is solid but needs a guy that compliments him well.

I would like to see him tried with Davidson, because hell why not?

Crazy how good Lucic has been in a game against this sort of opponent. I like it.
