Looks like the Flames compete level has taken a big dip since the second goal. Way too fragile.

Why can't the Flames stop sucking? What the hell is wrong with this team?

Up the gut. Can't happen. This team is in a dogfight and they are playing like its preseason, working out the kinks

This is exactly what I hate about Gulutzan's system - designed to apply pressure and maintain possession, but even the 'high danger chances' seem a little lower than the other team's who just counter with fewer (much fewer in this case) but higher quality chances.

Players clearly don’t give a #### about the playoffs. Why should the fans?

See now that is how you transition the puck from D to offense. Why is it so hard for the flames to do?

That’s all on the Defense... just garbage... but they should put Rittich in anyways, but gully can’t read a game because he’s not a good coach.

The team is dead. They can't play defence, at all. They can't control the offensive blue line, they can't control the neutral zone, and they can't control the defensive zone.

For all our hard work, grinding it in the offensive zone...all we do is give up breakaways and 2 on 1 rushes. Awful.

How can they repeatedly be so lazy with the changes? I think that's what, the fourth odd man rush/breakaway this game resulting from a bad change?

There's almost a tangible shift of the game when the Flames inevitably crack.

Gully will claim we ran into another hot goalie tomorrow.

How can anyone look at the mental state of this team and feel like the coach isn't a problem?

That kind of goal is exactly why "advanced" stats are meaningless. Dominate possession and then completely breakdown to allow a play like that is not a bad bounce.

How is Rittich any better anyways?
Rittich may not be better but a goalie swap could pitentially work to change the momentum of the game. Something needs to be done.

Flames shot their load in the first and then Backlund missing the empty net looked to be the final curtain.
