[GT] Flames at Rangers. Feb. 6, 2023

Need to seriously cut down the frequency of grade-A odd man chances against when Markstrom is in if we want to have any hope of winning a markstrom start again

Most teams are very efficient at converting on 2 on 1s ... maybe we shouldn't be giving them up early and often

That Backlund pass was a nothing play in the end (that line looks great as always though). The pass wasn’t on target, and Mangiapane was covered. Good play and all that, but dang Backs should have taken the puck and squared up for a chance himself.

This start is just…this season. Flames are playing hard, and controlling possession…and just a big ol nothing burger.

I'm glad all of CP is in game shape. You guys didn't miss a beat. I'm a slow starter though, so I'll take at least until the 2nd intermission before I take a dump on the team.

The numbers might not support it based on analytics but this team plays a different game when Vladar starts

[GioforPM]

OK, get it back. The Backlund line is clearly the best for the Flames right now.

The Flames 25th ranked PP goes to work.

Not holding my breath, but hoping for the best.

[Goriders]

Crank up our awesome PP!

[WhiteTiger]

C'mon, Flames...big chance here.

[Your Calgary Flames!]

Oh Markstrom.

Not always playing from behind may have something to do with it.

[ComixZone]

So they’ve changed PP personnel…have they changed actual strategy though? If not, no improvement will be found.

But how? they weren’t playing badly.

And if true, it’s an indictment of the team.

[KootenayFlamesFan]

Pelletier on PP 1. Interresting.

[Paulie Walnuts]

Looks like a change to thr pp units

[Goriders]

Gotta bury that one

[ComixZone]

No change in PP structure.

Coaches think they’re right and the players just aren’t executing.

[Your Calgary Flames!]

Jokes aside. I feel good about this game.

[KootenayFlamesFan]

Looch with some really awful giveaways early in this game.

[Goriders]

Lucic a turnover machine tonight

[Mathgod]

Marky with a nice save.
