The lightning have had the Flames number for a while now. Just one of those games.

I'm pretty sure any average Joe can say there may be a trade coming. The deadline is next week, and people like Seravelli have already said for a while the Flames are interested in Cozens and a depth dmen.

Lost the plot yet again
No surprise

No “big news”, just looked like a distracted bunch, no consistent effort at all

Tampa Bay is 8-1-1 in their last 10 with 19 GA in that time and playing a really tight game.

This game was probably actually the toughest game of this trip for the Flames, a team that's tight defensively that also has elite talent is going to be tough for this team to breakdown.

Money Puck has it as 2.53 to 1.91 xG in all situations for the Flames - in the end it was a tight game and special teams and finishing talent was the difference

No goals scored is problematic. Even Wolf can't get you a #### out every game. Maybe some clarity at the end of this trip....

Flames aren’t distracted and that was actually an even game with some blatant missed calls. If the Flames have elite talent they win that game. Offensively challenged team vs a team that defends well with an elite goalie.

Flames looked good, Tampa a great team that is on a great streak and Vasilevsky is back in God mode (though I don't think the Flames tested him enough anyway).


Interesting road trip so far.

Like beating Washington on the road?
