Ramo was one of the only bright spots. He played very well again.
If this team continues to play this way against their division (three straight home losses against pacific division opponents), there is no way in hell they will make the playoffs.
Treliving needs to upgrade in a few areas. I think Raymond, Backlund, Bollig and Colborne's days are numbered up front. On the back end, Wideman continues to struggle.
Ramo played another excellent game and Ferland was excellent, easily their best forward.
God I hate the Coyotes. Want to know why the NHL is a boring product these days? Coach's like Tippett. The guy just sucks the life out of the game. As much as it looked liked the Flames were lethargic, Tippett is the master of slowing everything down and frustrating the opposition. Consistently out coaches the other guy and it showed tonight.
Disappointing loss after such a good start.

Didn't watch the game but Russell with 4 minutes played more then Brodie and a minute more then Gio? Wide man almost 3 more minutes then Brodie? Brodie should be playing 30 minutes a night.
Hartley's love affair with mediocrity continues....
Bennett is still very young and has been snake bitten, he is fine. I would rather him being shifted with Granlund than Mr. every play dies with me Backlund though.
Really happy I only had to suffer through the 3rd.That was some of the worst attempts at offense I've seen from this team. The last two minutes were so bad it was funny.
Pathetic, simply pathetic. No excuse for that diabolical effort. Ramo is the only one who can emerge with any credit from that game, the skaters were all garbage. Monahan is starting to annoy me, seems to be playing a half speed in most games and is getting very little done. Bennett is still trying those silly little dangles that probably worked in the OHL, but won't work in NHL defencemen. Wideman's shooting continues to be garbage.
Our attacking play was horrendous, missing each other time and time again. Coyotes didn't even have to do much for that win. Fuming, absolutely fuming. Can't be blowing divisional games through a lack of effort. Our record against the teams in the Pacific is now 3-7-1. That has got to improve starting Monday.
Their passing accuracy as a team is just horribad. Need to drill those over and over and over again. Colborne, Backlund, Wideman and Russell yet again horrifically bad. Really missing Frolik right now, they need a bit of an injection of skill. Monahan looks like he's playing injured.
