The flames goal was horrible, but we are not tied because Markstrom is outplaying VV. It's because we can't bury our chances. That's been an issue for a very long time. Even last year it was. We needed 45+ shots a game to win. They just managed to do that most nights.
Fire the batting coach along with the goalie coach. f*** ’um both!

His literally out playing Vitek which is why we have not buried everything.

Devils goaltending has broken a portion this fanbases brain to the point they cant see another goalie playing well.

I mean, last year they were 15th in shooting percentage and 12th in shooting percentage 5 on 5, I believe.

It could be better, but I'm not sure it's an issue or anything

I can’t worry about other teams until this team wins consistently. Just win it tonight. Regúlalatino, OT, whatever. WIN!

Jersey up for auction without seeing them on the players is so freaking dumb. The themed warmups better come back next year.

What we need to do most is stand pat at the deadline. Given Timo forgetting how to hockey, we really can't afford to lose another young forward. And trading Casey for ******* Markstrom would be asinine. Ride this season out, maybe bring Tatar back in the off-season and go goalie fishing then too.

I might argue our horrible goaltending has broken a part of this fan base into thinking bad goalies are worth a first round pick +. Markstrom is not good. It wasn't long ago he could have been had for peanuts. There is a reason for that.

Vitek was slow getting over there on that goal. We also lost the puck in the opposite corner despite having two men go in there. Our D does not kill plays efficiently.

Better kill off this penalty because losing our composure and allowing multiple goals once we get scored on has been one of our biggest problems all year.

Our effort and skating were generally good but I would say that after the first ten minutes the game was basically even. Calgary is not a bad team.
