Just not getting the bounces tonight to make it any easier. Flames aren't showing the confidence for more than that.

Haven't watched a Flames game in 2-3 weeks. As I find our hockey is just boring, and don't expect us to make the playoffs. Decided I'd sit down and watch this one, bad decision.

Smith just needs to make a big save for himself.

I actually think the team defense has to mature much more than the younger goalies do. Until the former gets better, the latter have no chance out there.

I hate that we keep saying "they just didn't get the bounces" because it feels like such a bad excuse, and yet it always seems like we never get the bounces.

They've lost the last 7 games I've been to. I feel you.

Just like Maverick in top Gun, needed to save his plane in the jetwash to get back into it.

Or Cole Trickle in Days of thunder, Needed to drive through the wreck to get back to being the best driver on the track.

Basically, Mike Smith is Tom Cruise in a 90's movie.
