The Calgary Flames came into Wednesday’s game needing a win to stay functionally afloat in the playoff race. The Winnipeg Jets came in needing a win. Well, the Jets left town happy with a 4-0 win and a playoff spot cemented, while the Flames are a point lost (or gained by Montreal) away from being totally eliminated.
Here are some selected quotes from the post-game media addresses.
Darryl Sutter
Sutter was pretty blunt with his assessment of what went wrong for the Flames.
100% turnovers. A minute into the game, our second shift, we join the rush and throw the puck… as a defenseman, throw it blind.
