GDT: Flames @ Stars 6:30PM SN-West "Ploff Gmae"

Did anyone notice that Backlund was only good away from the puck last night? I don't think he made one good pass all game. It was a rough night for him for sure.

And then he got the empty netter. Guy has deserved a goal for a while now IMO.

Posting so I can see my vcash. I'm lazy like that.

Oh yeah, forgot about that!

It was pretty crazy how many of his passes managed to hit a Dallas stick being waved in one hand hopelessly in the air at the blueline. Guy was crazy unlucky all night. Definitely not the norm.

The most frustrating part of last night's game for me was the Flames' inability to clear their zone for most of the game. So many weak clearing attempts. Lots of F bombs dropped.

Flames also need to work on their faceoffs.

This by a country mile. There was a lot of yelling at my tv last night. The guys really need to bear down the rest of the way.

I love the bitterness that other fans show when we win. I love hearing how it's all luck game after game. Hopefully the boys keep it up, this is the best season as a flame fan in a long time.

They be salty

Love it. Currently my favorite reading material when I'm on the can.

So much this. I was at my parents for the game and had to replace my desire to drop F bombs with 'fudge' and the like

The whole team gave it to the Stars because we won the game.

Seriously. The hit sucked but our team responded where it mattered most.

We didn't respond at all. They owned us in the third. We turtled like Alex ****ing Burrows

 

[Anglesmith]

Yeah, no kidding.

Honestly, the salty comments aren't as funny after games like these, because this type of game is exactly how the league thinks we win every game. This was legitimately a bad game that we shouldn't have won.

Hopefully we can just chalk it up to fatigue and hope for a better effort after the off-day today.

Yeah, that is really correct.

Meh, with the game as close as it was, what would be the point of engaging him and possibly firing their team up?

If we were up or down by a few, then yeah, have Ferland, Engelland or Bouma go out and rough him up, but the game was too close to let it get us out of our groove. We were barely holding on as is.

 

[TheHudlinator]

We have out played teams and lost too. A wins a win to me, good teams find ways to win regardless of style. Given it was a back to back after a big game in Nashville I'm more than happy with the win.

Meh, not every game is gonna be pretty. All that matters is that they find a way to get those points. A win to me will always feel great, regardless of how the game was played. During our 8 game losing streak earlier this season, we played some great games that still resulted in losses 'cause we didn't get any bounces our way. That's how it goes sometimes. The Flames weren't great in this game but good enough to win it. That's all that matters at this time of year, especially in a race this tight.

 

[Unlimited Chequing]

Meh, there's no argument this was a game we were lucky to squeak out with (especially in regulation), but at the same time there were games we lost that we should have won. You win some, you lose some. We're overachieving so we're going to have harsh criticism no matter how we play, even if it's undeserved.

It doesn't matter how we win.

Even if we won 7-1, most outsiders would say that we got lucky. I'm not even kidding, but there are a lot of salty people out there because we are defying the "rebuilding" logic. We were supposed to be in the bottom 5 again.

And I'm sure Hartley is reminding the team of that every 5 minutes. But the team found a way, like they have been known to do, and that's the most important thing.

 

[Ace Rimmer]

I missed the game, did anyone end up giving it to Ritchie? That cross check to the face of our star fired me up.

No, but Jones gave him the evil eye stare-down.

it was 4-2 and were in control at that point in time. it was after that they gained all their momentum. we looked like a bunch of ******* scared to go after the ***** and they fed off it

 

[Pirate King Luffy]

I'm over it. A win is a win.

 

[Ace Rimmer]

As I said before - they can have their moral victory, I'll just be happy with the two points.

No offense but the other option of giving them a pp isn't any better. We had to focus on winning the game, given that we did it's hard to knock the decision imo.
