Skills competition hurting Flames

The shootout, it has been said, is basically a coin-flip.

If thats true, the Calgary Flames are playing with a double-headed coin.

And they keep taking tails.

The Flames dropped their fourth straight shootout and eighth of 11 overall and saw their playoff hopes take a major hit in the process.

Flames centre Matt Stajan, who at least rescued a single point for his club with a massive third-period marker, said its deflating to watch the bonus points evaporate.

Its frustrating when you dont win in the shootouts, Stajan said after the 2-1 loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets.

Our record hasnt been too good this year in shootouts thats no secret.

Last year, it didnt seem like we could lose a shootout. Right now, thats a huge difference in picking up some points.

The Flames came away with an extra point in 9-of-16 shootouts last season.

If they were even 50% this season, theyd be in a playoff spot instead of desperately trying to stay in the race.
