Thanks for the blog Trevor, the Flames are really missing Tanev. Have you heard anything of how serious the injury is?

It is important that the Flames put game 2 and Steve Kozari out of there psyche. Yes I think any fair minded person would agree that the refereeing was unfair.
When I hear them saying "we have to stay out of the box" I hope they remember that rough, abrasive, defensive hockey is how they must play to win.
But make it SMART abrasive, defensive hockey, which they have been doing all year.

Sutter coming out and commenting of the quality of the refs, saying we’re down to the 8 best teams, we should be down to the best referees as well. Just saying enough to not get fined.
Watching all the post game player interviews, all of them saying we need to play 5 V 5 hockey, I’m thinking we see a different game tonight.

It came down to chain link with the oil emblem or a truck with oilers truck nuts. Game time decision.

It looks like in this Game at least, the Coilers Team speed has the Flames in quicksand. Lucic or Ritchie have to settle down, comments.

Just came here to say, we were garbage tonite. I honestly don't think Marky should be playing at this point. He is a great goalie but he is always bad against the Oilers. He plays frantic, too deep in his net compared to Dallas series. This is because he is scared of the Draisitl one timer so he changed his game. Marky should not change his game based on the team he plays. He is good goaltender and should stick to same style as before.

Also We need to start Vladar... there is no shame in accepting that Marky struggles against Oilers. Change things up. Vladar in for game 4 would be good.

As Einstein once said, the definition of insanity is "Doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results". This is where we are at. Marky struggles against Oilers, and I am not just talking about playoffs. Marky is a great goalie but Oilers are in his head now. Change things up so we can actually play. Marky's struggles are also in our team's head. So make goaltending stable by giving Vladar a chance and things might get better for everyone out from crease. I feel Vladar can be X factor in this series, where Oilers have Marky fully figured out and are in his head. Just my two cents.

You're nuts. Markstrom is by far the better goalie and was the reason the Flames were in the game after the first. The three Kane scored were impossible to save and the defence was atrocious on all three. He overplayed the first goal a bit, but it was another perfect cross-ice pass and a perfect shot that probably goes in no matter how far he slides.

Also, Einstein never said that, and it's the most overused nonsense cliche of all time that doesn't work at all in sports.

Yes you may be right on the Einstein thing. I had to google it and it looks like there is some debate about it.Some say he said it, others say he did not.

But anyways, So you are ok with the current state of the Flames? Don't you think we need to make change. I get what you say because our D is playing awful as well. Not having Tanev is showing. But i still feel Vladar might be the spark.

It was a team bed shiiiiting tonight... i dont think you can blame any on Marky,
Could not handle the oil's speed, zero forecheck, zero sustained pressure in the O zone, and very few 1 on 1 battles won by the Flames.

Why wouldn't I be? I expected the Flames to win in six and I'm not going to overreact to every game. I've also said repeatedly that McDavid is the best player of all time and the Oilers will beat everyone if he's at the top of his game and Smith is good Smith.

Teams usually come back better after games like that. The Flames have done it all year.

Not singling out Marky but I am saying the whole team is playing like crap. So why not try changing something to see it it works. I absolutely want Marky to play well and win games... but his track record against the Oilers is not good.
