Strange criticism in a game where he's hit the net twice and also has an assist on a point shot. He's not Giordano, but when he elects to shoot he's solid at keeping it low and getting it through traffic, as long as he doesn't do that wierd thing he does where he stops the puck and then takes a slapper, which is just one of those wierd quirky habits every player has.

That's pretty "nagging" if 10 days off doesn't help. :\

PK has been bad, 3rd line and and 3rd pair are suffering, but I still have a good feeling about this one.

Top line is overdue for a goal right now

He scores on tips and deflections. His wide open shots with time to shoot never seem to cash in. Twice Holtby didn't even move stopping his shot from 35'.

It would be weird to see that line shutout two games in a row.

This is all true. He can get it to the net and has the perfect shot for a tip. What I wish is he could add more velocity co it was more of a threat on it's own.

This. If he could gain a bit more power he'd be lethal as he's so good at making a move to get a clear shot to the net.

Yep, looks like a west coast thing starting in California. Also Western Canada and several other countries as well.

You have to think the Flames have them right where they want them. 6-5 Flames.

Hopefully the 3rd period magic carries over the second half of the season.
