Would’ve preferred to lose in OT. Shootout is pure garbage.

Glorified practice drill.

I like the way Snrub thinks!

This was one of the most disappointing games I've seen so far this season.

f*** sakes. I knew that all star bye week was going to hose us.
Unbelievable.
Hot goalie.
We absolutely must be in the bottom 5 teams since the shootout was incorporated. We're terrible.
But that overtime was junk too.
Why we keep teams in games baffles me, just score and make saves like the first 45 games.
Arrrghhh

honestly lucky to even get a point out of this. we played like poo outside the 2nd period.
No way man 1st period kind of but shots were 34-13 in the final 40 minutes. The Flames were dominating they just couldn't beat Markstrom

James Neal? The most snake bitten man on earth?

Coach doesn’t tell people where to shoot kid.

You think so? Why do ALL our guys go low? Seriously, you don't think they practice a specific way? Probably because smith has a 5 hole the size of the f***ing ocean and they think it works. f***ing elevate!!!!!

And stop putting Neal in!!! The guy can't shoot! Ffs!

No, don't put Lindholm, Johnny or Mangiapane in the shootout, just put the coldest guy in the league out there.

We've been bad in shootouts since they started.

Tough to only get one point when we dominated but what can you do.

Kipper was a miserable shootout goalie.
And we’ve always stunk.

I hate that drill. Give us 5 4V4, then 5 3v3; I guarantee that most games will be resolved before then. 3 on 3 is fun, shootout is garbage.

lots of shots on net =/= equal playing well. it just means shooting a lot more. they definitely played better than us this game. markstrom was a wall as well which didn't help

Nah, just reasons. Seriously, all year the guys shoot down low and it's easy as hell to stop. You'd think one of our guys would elevate, but nah.

I'm pretty sure we only have 1 shootout goal all year from 4 total shootouts

Meh, sometimes you lose games where you carry the play but have some costly gaffes, this was that.

So glad we have a #1 goalie who can concentrate in a game where he isn't seeing the puck much. Smith loses this one 6-3.

I was hoping Mangiapane was going to shoot 3rd.
And dammit why can't Gaudreau score on a breakaway.
You'd think he'd be shooting in the shootout since he's our best player but I can see why he doesn't, he's not finishing on breakaways.

Markstrom stole that man, 2 games in a row we've ran into a hot goalie.

Just want to point out we haven't lost back to back games in regulation since mid November against San Jose and Montreal, so at least we're not going consecutive games without picking up any points.

Fun fact we're 7-0-2 on HNIC, not so fun fact those 2 OTL's are both to the Canucks. :(
