Good lord Bortuzzo was that necessary.

If the Flames can't score on this five minute power play, they'll never ever ever score again

Not a smart hit by Bortuzzo.

Hmmm - Not smart to target the opposition's captain in that manner.

I was hoping they would have scored 3 just because of the stupid penalty by Bortuzzo.

Now Cammalleri that was not smart but you can tell that was all frustration for the lack of scoring.

Squidy has been terrible of late (but he's had a lot of company).

Flames score! Flames score!

Colborne missed an easy one. Fleury almost gave up a classic Fleury screw up goal.

Flames score! Flames score!

It's a miracle

Hartley and Burke dressing Westgarth and McGrattan while Baertschi lingers in the minors? Is this a rebuild or a pugnacity festival?

Down a goal those two clowns are going to be stapled to the bench. A least Sven might present the possibility of a goal.

Not a bad effort tonight, but moral victories don't move you up in the standings.

Another close one.

Yeah they truly should have won that one. It is a shame that they are having that many issues scoring right now.

Everyone have a great night.

Extremely ugly game. Pens just look bad lately. This road trip has been just bleh. 2-0-1, sure, but some bad habits showing. Bad hit by Engo. I don't think it was head contact, the elbow came up on the follow through, but it was a text book charge. And just unnecessary. Bort is like 7 feet tall, he doesn't need to leave his feet for anything.

Niksy now with the Pens dman record for GWG in a season with 5. He has 6 goals this year...and 5 are GWG. Amazing.

Flames still winless in those godawful jerseys. Let's burn them all.

Monahan finished 9-11 for faceoffs for 82%

Yep. Dong shot. Well, actually, I'm pretty sure the savvy Sutter was cupping himself the whole time. And yes, there are video replays. Twitter's a hot mess.

 

[pixburgher66]

Bort hit, btw. Shoulder to shoulder, but a charge most definitely.

Not a pretty win but win nonetheless. I know it's the Flames but glad we held them to just 1 goal. Hopefully they regroup and find their game before they play the Caps.
