Shootouts are awful. What a stupid way to end a hockey game.

I don't know what's wrong with Monahan right now but he's currently playing like he's the Flames' third-best centre.

Terrible picks in the shootout. Monahan hasn’t looked good for 10 games and Backlund has never scored in that situation

That's a bummer, but a great game of hockey! The defensive side is really clicking right now. We could sure use some of that elite first line scoring though.

Deserved a better fate in this one. Take the point, get 2 tomorrow. Still prefer a winner/loser than a tie but 10 minutes of 3 on 3 OT is a must before shootout.

Solid effort. Very even game. Gotta finish the OT chances when you get them.

Take the point and move on to tomorrow.

Flames haven’t won 2 times in the same season in ANA since 1994. 23 years.
Won twice in a row in the calendar year of 1996, but spanned two seasons.

Unless it works in our favour, of course!

I don’t like how the team played in the 2nd or the 3rd. That’s an annoying loss for me.

Flames deserved to lose this one. Move on to Anaheim tomorrow, but losing that point to the Sharks stings.

No. The shootout is always a terrible way to decide a hockey game.

Way too early for that to be decided.

That save by Jones is up there for save of the year.

That pass by your goalie was amazing. Fun game!

Frickin' team in front of their goalie gives up another point to a division rival. Great OT effort, but not enough to get 2 pts, dang it!

Good road effort. So close to making it 3-1 in the third, then so close to winning it in overtime. Too bad, because without Versteeg, this is not a good shootout team.

It sure gives the 3 pointers a bit of a silver lining, I agree.

Flames could win more games if they try hard for 60 mins!

Fire the coaching staff already please. There are two significantly better options available right now.
