File that one under whatever I guess. You would think looking at the shots the Flames dominated this game and got goalied. Outside of the 1st period that really wasn't true. Liked the fwd lines mostly, seemed like it was working better. Still not too crazy about Zadorov in the top 4. Or Huberdeau with Lindholm.
Good - Couple Ruz points, that's good. Sounds kind of crazy but I think they should try him at center Huberdeau with Coronato on the RW. Plays the down low possession style that could create some chances. Hanifin was much better after blowing chunks the first two games. Tanev also. Also glad to see Dube get on the board.
Pretty good - Coleman, nice hustle and some nice defense. Pretty oathetic PS attempt tho. Coronato, like his quick decisions. Should have seen the ice for OT. Andersson, Gilbert was fine. Markstrom was decent, still let in a goal that he gets a piece of. Saw too much of that last season. Liking the 4th line, didn't see enough ice IMO. PK was quality.
Not bad - Weegar/Zadorov pairing, skated well but a little hectic and reactionary. Didn't love Backs tonight but still had it in the right end of the rink. Didn't get enough out of the top line, seen that before. Huberdeau wasn't great but his linemates didn't give him much to work with tonight.
idiot - Kadri, he wasn't even that bad really but his lazy stupid on ice decisions stood out. Just annoying.
Not good - PP1 looked semi-dangerous when they got setup. Which was rarely. Just soft area passes and not enough urgency. Should have won us this game.
Hopefully a couple days off on the road can get these guys more on the same page. Need badly for this team to develop some great chemistry because they're not going to get anywhere on talent alone.
