Tkachuk on possible loss of Giordano... "He’s our best defence man, probably our hardest worker and one of our best, if not, best player each and every night so, yeah, it’s definitely a big hole but guys are capable in this room by filling that just by committee." #Flames

Tkachuk "It’s frustrating no matter who you play and you lose at home, if you lose anywhere it’s frustrating but we’re not thinking about where we are and who we’re playing, we’re in a race right now and we can’t afford to give points away like we are right now." #Flames

Ward on the potential loss of Giordano. "He’s our captain. He’s our leader, #1. He plays a lot of minutes for us on the back end on our top pair. Plays both special teams and it’s potentially a huge loss." #Flames

Geoff Ward on Giordano's injury. "It’s a lower body injury. I haven’t talked to Kent (Kobelka) yet so I don’t know the extent of it. I don’t know exactly what it is. I just know they’re telling me lower body injury.” #Flames Giordano left the game late in the 2nd, did not return

"...But,more than anything, you got to hate losing. So I hope the emotion is more anger than frustration so we’re more prepared to do something about it. With frustration you... feel like it’s out of your control. Everything that is happening out there is inside our control." 3/3

"... it’s a totally different emotion. The bottom line for us is... I don’t think frustration does a whole lot for you. I think anger does a lot more for you. And when we’re sick and tired, as a group, of seeing this and losing games we’ll find a way to fix it..." 2/3 #Flames

#Flames Geoff Ward was good post game. His last answer was about how he wants his players to feel after another disappointing loss. "Everybody’s frustrated, for sure, a little bit. I’d prefer if we were more angry than frustrated because... 1/3

The #Flames have now lost 10 games to teams that are not currently in the playoffs, 7 in regulation: LA (2), SJ (2), WPG, MON (2), OTT, CHI, MIN That's my unofficial tally... not good enough.

3-1 #SJSharks Labanc wins the battle on the boards, walks in and goes blocker side with the back hand. Not sure who these #Flames are. But, right now, they aren't very good.

Giordano will not return to tonight's game due to a lower body injury. #Flames

The #Flames have the edge in play but they certainly aren't dominating. They need to find a way to find a way to gain momentum and keep it for significant stretches with in a game. Being the better team isn't enough a lot of the time. They have to dominate the opposition at times

Giordano went for a skate during the intermission, something isn't right. The #Flames Captain went to the room. He was grabbing the back of his leg while on the bench.

Giordano hobbled to the bench... looked like he was favouring his right leg. #Flames He's still on the bench.

#SJSharks take the 2-1 lead after Goodrow set up Kane from behind the net. Nice little play. #Flames outshooting the Sharks 22-13 but losing on the scoreboard.

This is the 2nd time Lindholm has played with Gaudreau and Monahan... Ward going a little old school in this 2nd period. Maybe the he's going on a hunch after their connection on the PP. #Flames

Brent Burns walks in and goes shelf on Rittich... Great shot, Thornton with the set up. We're even at 1. #Flames vs #SJSharks

Lindholm sets up Gaudreau for his first in 7 games, his 14th of the campaign. #Flames are up 1-0 on a PP goal

#SJSharks Barclay Goodrow steps up to tangle with Lucic after his big hit on Kane... Not recommended but Goodrow survived... #Flames have 16 shots on net but nothing to show for it.

Phenomenal! Keep believing. #SnowyStrong #EndALShttps://twitter.com/kelsieswrites/status/1224523035702489088 …
