Struggles Continue For The Calgary Flames

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.
