[GT] Flames @ Montreal

[bubbsy]

4 or so useless shifts and inevitably a goal against

[Gaskal]

Ref just get out of the effing way.

[GioforPM]

Rittich is a bit more reboundy than his previous start.

[GullFoss]

Montreal scores - time to put the flames fourth line out to get some energy. lol

[Machiavelli]

Puck bounced on Rittich

[djsFlames]

Can we get some breaks this century?

[bubbsy]

It's amazing that the main difference in the game is the Habs ability to break out with speed yet the flames slow Mo break out requires a dozen d to d passes before even looking up ice.

[direwolf]

Some serious bad luck for the Flames over these last couple of games. It's clear the hockey gods just hate us.

[Strange Brew]

This would be a nice time for one of the Flames stars to do something.

[Jeff Lebowski]

Get some shots, play offense ...just a little please

[madmike]

This team cannot buy a break. Just in one of those streaks.

[iloveicedhockey]

Such a spoon on that shot and it loops right over rittich; he probably had all decent contact shots covered.

I didn't see the first but we haven't been good this period

They make more passes in their zone than any team i have ever seen. Great for possession numbers but so prone to turnovers.

[Machiavelli]

At some point, you have to create your own puck luck. I need to see more bodies at the net.

[Toonage]

Re: breaks

You make your own. Try playing with the puck in front of their net for a while and you get those chances

Edit: great minds...

[GullFoss]

Can someone explain to me why brower didnt take the body on that forecheck?

They’ve been ok considering it’s the back end of a road back to back and they went to OT last night.

[bubbsy]

The flames d back to blind passes up the boards resulting in a turnover.

Looks like their nervous and crumpling again

[troutman]

Habs are so mediocre. How are they close to .500?

Few flames actually know how to apply forevheck pressure that actually causes mistakes
