Broken clock, blind squirrel, blah blah blah. If it was April 1st you would’ve thought an April Fool’s joke was on deck. The Calgary Flames are in the last ditched stages of this year’s playoff race, and without a bonafide superstar stacking up points (unless your name is Toffoli) it’s the unusual suspects chipping in. Like much maligned Milan Lucic, who scored the prettiest goal he’s potted in maybe a decade.
Lucic is set to end the 22-23 season with a season low in penalty minutes. Although he’s the favorite whipping boy for fans, most understand it’s Sutter’s deployment of the 4th line that’s the real problem.
