The guy that put together the Pacific winners?

Save your anger for the on ice performance.

Yeah I’m looking at you Chucky……

Just your typical Flames playoff performance.

Nothing ever changes.
The guy that has put together a team that has won 1 playoff series in 8 years. The guy that brought in Coleman, toffoli, Zadorov, Jarnkrok for the playoff experience and all have been let downs. Yes that guy deserves a ton of blame if this team fails yet again

Hopefully we win game 7. I'm not exactly expecting a cup this season, but I expected at least a round one win. And this team NEEDS to prove they can do that. Even if we get knocked in the second round, at least it's over the hump and this group showing they can make some progress to build off of.

The Stars WANT this. We aren't showing we do. If we lose, I'm not going to be invested in next season at all. Doubt I'll even keep Sportsnet. Because if after the season we had, this group can't even beat a team that barely scratched their way into the playoffs, there's no point in me really caring anymore. And if we get eliminated on Sunday, I give Tkachuk his qualifying offer then try to trade him. He ain't worth 9+ for an 8 year extension if this is what we can expect from him in the playoffs, and we haven't been able to even win a round with him here

I think so a bunch of our poopness tn was due to the faceoffs, we got absolutely slaughtered. Cant play a puck possession game when you never start with it and always have to chase it down.

The LA Kings might have us beat, but after them, we have the worst top pairing in the playoffs. What a quick, sad fall from Gio-Brodie

I honestly feel with Tanev suddenly gone it caused an issue with our defense. Keep in mind we were by far the bettr team in the first period but unfortunately didn't get the bounces. Let's hope he's either back in game 7, or at least we can adapt better knowing he's out indefinitely, rather than suddenly happening in the game.

Just to pile on a bit . . . Does Sutter ever see a reason to use a time-out? I've seen at least 2 glaring instances where it should have been used and there's likely been a couple of other times it "could" have been used. Does he need a bolt of lightning to be the sign? Also, he's got to shorten the bench earlier than when there's a minute or so left and we pull the goalie. Don't know why I'm seeing Yarncookie and Looch and other offensive dynamos with 3 and 4 minutes left and we're down by one. Stuff like that rustles my jimmies.

Bounces?

lol after 7 games, if we lose, it’s not because of the bounces. Bounces is for 1 or 2 games. After that if you can’t figure it out, you are just not good enough.

I think we are down to drawing straw now

Another thing, Bowness boring ass sticks and bodies on everything that moves hockey is probably how a team is supposed to play to win. Just most humans aren't sociopathic enough to inflict that product onto their fanbase or the league at large. :rant:

After all the ribbing and goading I've done to Dallas and Edmonton fans in the last little bit... God help me if we end up losing Sunday's game. Yikes. I regret nothing though! 😁

Faceoff %

Jarnkrok 0/12 for 0%

Backlund 5/18 for 27.8%

Lindholm 12/27 for 44.4%

Dube 1/2 for 50%

Lewis 3/6 for 50%

Not neeearly good enough. Why is Jarny still in the lineup. And Backlund needs to be way better as does Lindholm. We're getting killed right off the hop.

I wonder what that idiot Parros will do to Zads. I think it was an unfortunate play but no malicious intent was present. We'll see what happens.

The league may as well announce you can’t hit anyone smaller than you

It would be a great day for Johnny though
