We need a full on drinking game
Other ones could include

Mishandling the puck behind net
Two goals against within two minutes
Five hole goal against
Lunging save attempts
Goal against from 30 or more feet out unscreened

I do want him to play well though.

If Flames win the draw or gain possession or that puck bounces to the Flames instead of back out front, JG and SM likely out pace Benn and Seguin and the Flames win in that first shift.

It comes down to one or two very subtle occurances in OT, where a player pinches 3 feet too far or turns the wrong way when peeling back to defend, especially against a guy like JG. . Not sure any of our defensive forwards (ala Backlund) that Peters would throw out, would fare much better vs those two. So, hope for the luck to go our way (which includes a better Rittich play on the puck) and a 2 on 1 generated.

I would place the responsibility of that OT goal on Gio.

He did a great job tipping Seguin's first shot into the corner. But then caught puck watching for a second and drifted away from him, and Seguin was left all alone. Even if Monahan was at fault for not playing the puck, at least he took his check out of the play.

Johnny had the point man covered as well. Gio was the only one that blew his check.

Smith is a great guy, but I like drinking games. What to do?

Maybe we could have a drinking game where we make fun of the other team. We could learn new things to use as ammo against their fan base.

Let's not over analyze the first OT loss of the season that came at the end of November.

Rittich/Gio make a better play and it's an odd man rush in the other direction
