[PGT] Loss to LA 2-1 in extra time, three times in a row

[Steveyoto]

Dump and chase in OT, nice move. It was driving me so nuts. They don't seem to understand that they can just back out of the zone and re-enter with ease in OT. They used to do this all the time. Now they just feel pressure and dump it.

LA drove into our zone at took shots at every opportunity. This is why we lost the OT.

[Kaine]

This team is Phoenix or Minnesota levels of boring to watch. I should be upset at another lose but I'm so bored I just can't bring myself to care.

Teams flat again. They'll silver line this by saying they have points in ten but these three OT losses in a row are just lipstick on a pig. The Pig being the PP and consistent goal scoring.

[Dorky Pigs]

I think I'll just watch the away games!

[Jiggy_12]

We're on a 10 game point streak. Perspective:

5-0 on games that end in regulation
2-3 on games that require a coinflip

We looked good tonight against a good team battling for the same positioning.

2 goals or fewer allowed in 8 straight games.

1 goal allowed (in regulation) in 5 of the last 6.

Feel better?

Saving energy for tomorrow?

10 game point streak going... I doubt it.

Though, the longer the winless streak against the oilers, the more I'd like to see the coach canned.

[Kybb79]

I fully expect the Flames to be playing scared again tomorrow.

This.

Easily the better team tonight at 5v5 and limited the Kings to very little.

1 PPG against, none for and that is the difference.

Overall a good effort outside of the PP and much better effort than their last two.

[WhiteTiger]

Dammit. >.<

[belsarius]

Really want to see more Bennett-Jankowski in OT

Again? Even during the win streak I never stopped complaining about the coaching.

Dave Cameron has stunk up the joint everywhere he’s coached, baffled why he was hired and still just confused on why he’s here. PP doesn’t move, everyone is stationary. Johnny gets the puck in the corner and everyone is just standing. Painful to watch. Don’t even put Brodie on the PP, the only thing he does is pass it off after pretending like he’s gonna shoot. Trade for some offense, team only gets offense from one line consistently

[old-fart]

Embarrassing effort in the third and in OT. No shots on goal in OT and didn’t do much other than hand the puck over to the Kings.

Team is a joke at home.

[stone hands]

flames pp needs to be deadly for them to have a chance

its really discouraging to see them struggle so hard for so long

They carried over their lack of killer instinct into overtime and it unsurprisingly cost them, as it has the last 3 games.

Pathetic effort. You aren't going to win games when you only score a goal a game. Smith cannot do everything.

What are you taking about? Some people here, my god.

“Pathetic effort”? The flames played a good game and were the much better team the entire game. Yeah, the offense isn’t firing right now, but we also hit two posts in the second period.

Pathetic effort? Have some clarity.

[Joborule]

It's nice that the team can score in the first period at home now.

Would be nice if they can score past the 20 minute mark of the game also.
