John is never going to be Theo. He is what he is at this point. The part that irks me is Sean is just as bad. Lindholm was throwing the body and getting into the corners. Sean cant be bothered. Flames need to make a decision on one of these players as you can have two on your top line and expect to win against the big boys.

It's reality - they're generally not playing well, aside from the PK.

Not much love for the flames during intermission. I think sportsnet hates us.

Not expecting perfection, but c’mon execution and effort have been awful this game.
But big third here. Predicting a Tkachuk game winner just to jam that salt into the wound.

TJ has to score the winner for the Flames tonight then, no question about it. It has to happen.

Surprised the Bennett goal counted since it was kicked in.

Yeah, he came in hot with the Monahan slants today. I got confused as the posters name wasn't Love.

Forbort looked like prime Robyn on that 5 on 3. Hes making the simple plays tonight. Also his presence in front of the net has really helped. I love it!

Great...he set up a chance.
He also has lost or turned the puck over at least 10 times....most inside his own blueline.
Just a brutal game for him no matter how you want to sugar coat it.

A bit surprised to see the lack of follow-up to what I judged to be a VERY workmanlike Game 1. No fuss, no muss, all physical and all intense. Not much of that today except I though for the 3-5 shorthanded piece.
Don't know if they're off-pace by being in the (ugh) Oil's dressing room or what. But they need to get back to that hard physical play that gave the Jets no room at all in Game 1.

Flames need better puck support exiting their zone and through the neutral zone. Support takes effort and energy. Get some slip passes going to breach the Jets smothering forecheck and exit and enter with speed.

He might have stretches of playing hard with Jankowski, Rieder, Brouwer, Neal in the regular season, until he loses motivation.
In the playoffs he's always had better usage. With Backlund in his first year. With Chiasson and a hot Versteeg his second year. On the PP with Andersson, Backlund, etc his third go around. And now with Dube and Lucic this year.
That is the difference between playoff Bennett and regular season Bennett.
