When it matters most the Flames folded the tent. From top to bottom, at crunch time, the tema can’t compete. Blame Miikka Kiprusoff for putting the Flames in the current position. He plays so well that the team looks better than they really are.
Sure, we can blame injuries, and let’s face it, that’s a huge reason why this team can’t compete. But it’s plain and simple, if nobody scores you don’t win. When you don’t beat the worst teams in the NHL you don’t win. Simple hockey.
Flames’ only hope is to run the tables now, and we know that won’t happen. Better luck next year fans…. SHould be a better season IMO. Things look bright.
Upsetting because the Flames could not score on man advantages even after being priviledged. Lest to say there was no intensity particularly in OT – it was obvious that the AVs were more determined to get the two points…..Yet, despite all the negativity, at least the Flames showed some effort and Matt Stajan continues to stun…..
