from Kristen Odland of the Calgary Herald,
Mark Giordano accepted the blame for that one.
But let’s back-up for a moment.
There were many reasons why the Calgary Flames suffered a 6-4 loss to the visiting St. Louis Blues on Saturday night.
They surrendered four straight goals.
They continued to draw blanks on their league-worst power-play.
They had another horrible display of puck management.
They showed no support to their goalie.
Their big stars were silent.
They are still struggling with consistency, identity, systems … the list goes on.
However, as the captain of the Flames, the defender’s second-period blunders were inexcusable and changed the course of the game.
A holding penalty, taken out of frustration, turned into a four-minute timeout after he foolishly argued with the referee and was slapped with an unsportsmanlike conduct.
