I guess it's only fitting that the team that beats us finally, and is thus pro-racism, is Carolina.

The math is airtight.

Giordano has been pretty garbage this season.

Lame game to end the streak. Would probably be a different story if we could convert on those glorious chances in the 1st.

Lets start a new streak!

4th game in 6 days that included travel, 7 game winning streak after some pretty major distractions. Rest and refocus and get back to it against the Pens.

Giordano's worst game

Jankowski can get familiar with the popcorn machine

Weird offside/onside call changes the momentum of the game (not mad at the call anymore, I am mad that there was a 5 second review of it)

Rittich let in a softy on Hamilton's goal

Power play lines need to be switched up

Never seen so many fanned passes/shot attempts in one game

I don't even care about any army of apologists anymore. It was offside.

Game should have turned in the first. Flames dominant at times, could have had 2 or 3 goals, came out with nothing. Canes came out better in the 2nd, capitalized on the onside/offside/PP fiasco, made it 2-0 and the Flames lost the wind out of their sails.

In a way it's going to be really interesting to see how this team bounces back after Ward's first loss in 8 games. I have a feeling we're going to see a fired up team looking for some redemption. Could end up being a great learning experience for the team.

Well that’s pretty objectively wrong.

Gio and Backlund need to go back to puck shooting school. Need them to contribute once in a while. They've been throwing muffins for two months now.

Nah, he just hasn’t been at the super man level he’s been at the last three or four years.

Flames had a great first period but had no luck, and then that offside challenge seemed to distract and change the momentum of the game.

Like I said in the GT this was one of those games where everything went wrong despite the effort. Well, that and the frog sleeps during the day. I thought Hamonic was terrible. With Brodie not making the gaffs he used to make it is a pretty easy decision to re-sign him and let Hamonic walk. What Hamonic brings value wise is a hard edged D man who blocks lots of shots. The shot blocking has been there at times this year but he has not been physical at all, quite the opposite actually. I wouldn't even be opposed to trading him now for an asset and letting Stone have his spot. Anyhow start another streak Tuesday.

Fair enough. Still disappointed.

Relative to last year for sure. I think MacKinnon owning him so badly all series last April destroyed his confidence. His foot speed is getting noticeably worse too.
