Both Kadri and Hubey both owed Vladar an apology.

Overall fine, played a lock down game. Our supposed skill players invisible though. Kuzmenko, Zary, Kadri, Huberdeau very quiet in the offensive zone not a lot of spark.

Coronato didn't notice him the second half of the game.

Kadri trying to do too much these 5 games harkens back to 22-23 Kadri...hope that he turns it around.

And...thanks for all the fish...

The only life they showed in the 3rd was near the end when they went back to basics and just went north-south and put everything at the net.

I don’t think the group is skilled enough to have Rasmus out there channeling Bobby Orr for every goal.

A lot more turnovers than the previous games as well, which could use some work.

[Jiggy_12]

Not really all that upset with that game and result.

It was boring and even. The zebras didn’t do us any favours and then it was a coinflip for the extra point.

After a multi day layoff I’m OK with that game, Kraken have been playing well.

Both teams try to win

[SuperMatt18]

Sloppy game but both teams actually were doing really well to get sticks on everything through the middle of the ice, so neither team really had much space.

With the injuries to Honzek and Sharangovich the Flames forward lines are imbalanced right now.

The Backlund line has no natural finisher and the Kadri line could use another puck carrier that can distribute.

Zary-Kadri-Kuzmenko
Huberdeau-Pospisil-Mantha
Coleman-Backlund-Coronato
Lomberg-Kirkland-Klapka

Those should probably be the forward lines right now.

And get Barrie out of the lineup and put Miromanov back in.

Huberdeau's penalty call was soft and he really can't be faulted either on the OT goal...

[ForeverFlameFan]

Terrible ice with terrible passing on both ends. Kraken just got the better bounce in the end. They lucked out not losing this game after the pressure Calgary built up in the last 5 minutes before OT.

This. Not impressed with Barrie at all tonight. Too many mistakes.


Flames in general looked shellshocked...not sure what was going on with them, but none of them seemed able to pass or hold a puck for any length of time. Not much hitting, and a lot of grabbing the puck and immediately turning a back to the opponent's net. What's with that? They kept forcing the puck back either into the neutral or D-zones....didn't make any sense at all.

[WhiteTiger]

Snoozy game, but we got a point. Way to go, Flames

Thanks Kadri.

[FireGilbert]

Damn I really wanted 5 in a row. Pretty sloppy from both teams and looked like everyone was playing for a point in the 3rd. Vladar was excellent and looks completely different from last year. Great save to bail out Kadri but then an unlucky bounce.

[Strange Brew]

Only watched from the middle of the 2nd onwards; that wasn't very good hockey.

[Jay Random]

I believe this comment from the GT summarizes tonight just about perfectly:

I was thinking one paycheque

[Goriders]

Both our goalies are solid. That was my biggest concern coming into the season.

Getting Sharongovich back will help.
