Not blaming Markstrom for the OT goal, but you're not going to win many games when your $6M goalie is the 2nd best goalie on the ice most nights.

Sub 900 save percentages is not optimal

I was told that the Flames effort Saturday night in a 3 goal loss would be good enough to win most nights. Same effort tonight resulted in a loss to the lowly Ducks. I’m sure if they keep playing hard and getting out scored things will come around eventually.

No idea what Hanafin and Monahan were thinking there.

Gibson won it for the Ducks.

Unlike Edmonton where most of the shots were low(er) quality, I'd say they tested Gibson pretty well, but hell of a performance from him.

What can you even do but throw your arms up?

Finish is everything I guess... Also timely saves.

Wasn't watching too intently because of the election, but from what I saw Gibson was in beast mode

You're also not going to win when your 40+ shots account for 2 goals a game

Sean Monahan, still not a top 6 forward. Injuries ain’t it.

Stop me if you've heard these before.

Cant Score.
Special teams let them down.
The goalie was the 2nd best on the ice.

It's the trifecta of Flames hockey for the last decade.

Markstrom is not the answer to the Flames inability to generate offense.

As such, we've seen this story plenty of times before. A lot more losses than wins is what's lined up this season. Tis the same offensive core after all, so why expect different?

The Flames used to be elite at 3 on 3 OT. Now we struggle to generate anything.

Very frustrating, but it shouldn't have been even close to OT to begin with.
