Gutless; Flames lose

I'm pretty sure they canceled a season of play to stop games from having scores like this. It is never nice to accept being shutout, especially at home, but there is a positive that can be taken. For all those who have been defending the play of the Flames and their lack of scoring, the usual argument is that we don't need to score a lot of goals to win games if our defence is sick and Kipper is unreal. The only problem with that argument is that we need to score any goals to win a game. Hopefully the team wakes up a bit now.

It's worth looking at the last few games though. Running into hot goalies does happen and maybe its just happened three games in a row. Cranderson absolutely stole a game for Colorado, Fleury isn't on the Olympic team by accident, and Ellis has been dec all season splitting time with Rinne. The Flames have just been pouring shots on the opponent's nets too, treating opposition netminders like a young Japanese girl in a bukake video (if you don't know what that is, you don't even want to Google it).


If you've been watching this team all season I don't even need to tell you who hit the post.

Flames go to Anaheim and San Jose for back to back games on Sunday/Monday. In other news, The Rock is going to play hockey in his next movie.
