I guess Lucic and Bennett being your best players can only take you so far.

We have always been playing with fire hoping Gio sustains his level of play this late in his 30's. It's now bit us in the ass, he's not a no.1 anymore and it hurts to say. One of my faves to play on the Flames over the last 15 years

I agree it’s the right call, but it’s a play that’s been ignored over and over, game in and game out.

I could live with that, on its own. However, it is also their strategy to put the puck along the boards every time they get it. Unfortunately, because they are all collapsed in the middle of the ice, they never get to those pucks.

And on it goes.

I think every player's name has been called out at least once in this thread. Nothing is going right. This just feels broken.

Well, the shots are close now but we need some o-zone pressure.

Interesting strategy by Ward to put the most offensively-inept players out there with the goalie pulled

I thought maybe he sold it as a sliding save attempt but they didn’t bite. The issue for me is the non calls before and after.

Why do they keep shooting from awful angles? I don't get it.

I thought he sold it pretty well. It just feels so bad when I’ve seen guys literally skate straight up to the crossbar and lift the net off with both hands and not get called.
