[GT] Blues vs. Flames

[Patek23]

Don't know why, but this is the most frustrating loss of the year too me. Possibly because I was so confident in a win beforehand. But this stings.

[badradio]

Blues with constant pressure, they challenge every player and they are big. Flames could get nothing going, no time and space to set up.

[MyFlamesFirst]

Well this game is a bit disappointing. Just means we have to go on a bit of a streak after these two losses to keep us in the playoffs.

I can't remember. I just checked the two Buffalo games, no EN goals against in either one. (4-1 win and 4-3 loss)

Blues are good, and the Flames specifically don't match up well with them, thus was always going to be a tough one.

Two empty nutters in the leafs game back in December too. A couple of nights ago on sportsnet they posted a stat that the flames hadn't had an empty net goal scored against them but it was totally wrong.

Flames allowed 2 EN games in one against the Leafs...and many others

[Samiz]

Feels like the Blues outnumber the Flames on the ice. Hopefully we can move on. I believe this puts us at 4-2-1 in the "7 game segment" so it isn't the end of the world if they can just get it together and back on track

[bubbsy]

This was going to be a real tough game...

Blues in the west, islanders in the east are teams that will be fun to cheer for if/when the flames season ends.

Joe Colborne - great night for him

Jonas Hiller - Did good, just had goals hard to save

Mason Raymond - I think we need to make him a healthy scratch next game

Im sure it is the first one. A couple of games ago they put up the stat never scored on by the opponent for eng.
Flames had put one in on them selves tho.

I am almost certain the Flames will acquire players via trade or free agency

It's been necessary for a long time. Since his 4 game goal streak ended.

Edit: nevermind, LA will have one game in hand.

We've played 1 more game so puts us out, no?

it was totally wrong, they have allowed many

[btimbit]

Well we knew it'd be a hard game and it was.

I hope not, Treliving's track record with free agency is brutal.

[OldSam]

And a franchise record for shutouts for Elliott. Congratulations.
