[GT] Flames v. Leafs 7:30 - well, they’re playing again

[memphusk]

So every time that there is traffic in the slot they score. Maybe Markstrom is blind?

[old-fart]

This team is just sad. No actual game plan other than “stand around and watch - maybe it will work this time...”

[agulati]

Lol

[flamingred89]

Ha. Markstrom gonna be rocking a 3.0 GAA and sub .900 sv pct after this. Why can’t we have nice things?

[Voodooman]

This team is so ####ing worthless.

[Manhattanboy]

Kipper curse. It’s true.

[dino7c]

Take a man

[ForeverFlameFan]

Hahaha.

[JurassicTunga12]

and there's the crumple.

[flames_fan_down_under]

Ugh.

Andersson with a lazy last play to not get it out to set that one up.
Shine is well off him for sure.

More pinballing and non Flame tough enough to knock a Leaf down didn't help either.

[Strange Brew]

Geez knock someone down.

[zamler]

We can score 6.

Sure would be nice to have some big strong defensemen who could clear the front of the net and slot. But apparently, those guys are not needed in the new NHL anymore.

Bring in a players coach who is all about "communication" and being friends with the players - result failure but hey, the players got some good contracts out of it;

Have to endure a bit of a hard ass coach in Peters, lucky for them, his past catches up to him and they bring in another players coach who "empowers" the players again.

These players are use to getting what they want from management.

They are like spoiled children.

These guys only play when they feel like it, someone, or several in that dressing room is leading the charge.

If we want to catch Ottawa and Detroit, Markstrom has to be our ride or die. Team has basically not allowed Leaf scoring chances tonight and the Leafs have 5 goals.

He's been flat out terrible.

[KootenayFlamesFan]

Giving the puck away in the slot to Tavares, with traffic.

Yeah, that's not on Markstrom.

[dino7c]

No goalie is gonna look good when guys are allowed to stand in the slot and whack away untouched.
