Pretty crazy to think it's been about 10 years since the Flames last core faded out. We've seen some good moments and flashes of what could be, but really not much of anything in the last ten years.

3rd: 1.45 to 0.84
Total: 3.73 to 2.4
So being down 3-0 after 1 was unlucky and it’s back to back games where Rittich started them off behind the 8 ball.
Team still needs to be better but goaltending has been a bit part of these last two games.

Shots were 10-1 to start. Yup, Rittich needs to stop at least 1 of those first 3 but the entire team was no show to start

We were slow in first 2 periods.
The first line of Tkachuk-Lindholm-Mangiapane is not dangerous at all with only minimal sustained zone pressure. They had very few serious/dangerous scoring chances compared to the 2nd (Backlund-Monahan-Bennett) and 3rd lines (Gaudreau-Ryan-Lucic) and they were on the ice for the 1st and 3rd goal against. It's past time to put the nail in that line's coffin.
Once the classic lines got rearranged and Bennett scored to open the floodgates, then the Flames looked much more dangerous.

When was the last time a team had 45 shots and only 1pp?

What's striking to me these last 2 seasons has been how the style of attack changes dramatically when we need some goals late.
Instead of making East to West passes in the neutral and offensive zones or dumping and chasing, someone just takes control and drives wide to establish possession. We get the pucks to the point for tips/screens/rebounds, or else pass it down low for a stuff attempt / pass through the crease / pass into the slot.
Seems like when we do make that change we've been dominant. Is there an obvious reason why that isn't the style of attack normally?

It's very difficult to play in front of a struggling goalie. Rittich lost the Montreal game, killed the Vancouver game and lost this game. He has been flat out terrible lately.
It's the exact same as last year, he can't play 65 games.
Why did they even sign Talbot?

I want changes. Bubb-Byee Backlund.
Maybe they can win a cup this decade. Need some goaltending first I guess.

Someone here once suggested this was a "play as you practice" team which was a much better way of putting how I used to say "positionally perfect"
Same as the GG era.

And a top notch goalie for F&^%$g once. Wasn't Lehner supposed to be in our sights? Nice job Tre on not getting him too!

8 shifts for Eatbread in first, 4 in second, 0 in third.
Backlund and his 2 terrible giveaways on the same shift in not really caring about clearing his zone didn’t even blip his ice time.

Flames are frickin lucky a dumb lazy ass play by Backlund didn’t result in a serious injury to Monahan.

When the goalie lets in a #### goal at the start it is very demoralizing for the rest of the team and just the opposite if he makes a huge save. Last two losses are all on Rittich.

Every team that's playing all out desperation mode looks dominant in garbage time.
Good teams can be effective in their game plan itself, not just in desperation mode or in bursts, or when playing an opposition not dialled in.

Rittich is not a number one goalie. Period.

Yup, agreed. Said "#### goal" was at 6-1 for shot against. Agreed Rittich needs to stop that, team also needs to show up for puck drop.
2 issues there, not 1.
