GDT: WCQF Game 4 | Anaheim Ducks (1) at Calgary Flames (WC1) | Apr. 19 10:00pm ET

The game was pretty much over after Elliot let in that softie


I doubt GG's ability to coach from behind.

At least this series killed the notion that Monahan is a player who's "carried" by his linemates.

Better luck next year. **** happens.

Seriously. Not acquiring a real top 6 option on the RW was a huge mistake.

But they did do you not remember? Veteran leader Troy Brouwer who can sure turn it up in the playoffs. I mean the guy is absolutely elite, just a fantastic signing by management.

 

[Magic Mittens]

Nice try Flames! Was a fun season at least

Gutted the crowd and team for over half the game

40 point guy who is supposed beast in playoffs because he was with some good teams in past (all of which were happy enough to let him go elsewhere for suckers like Calgary)

I didn't expect us to make a deep run or anything, but man.. A sweep is just downright embarrassing. And now we have to live with it until fall .. Ugh, Go Sharks.

Fair to say that the final outcome doesn't match the pace of the series. Games 2, 3 could have easily gone to the Flames with some puck luck.

Ducks earned the win though, credit where its due.

 

[tmurfin]

As always, the seasons been a blast on here though

Time to fade to black, you can catch me talking **** on the main boards a couple times a week .

I don't get the Hamilton hate. He took terrible penalties in the first two games but I thought he was either our best or second best D-man. I also think he was our biggest scoring threat this game.

Gaudreau and 3-M under performed hugely and it hurt us because we couldn't score at even strength. This team needs to play their game if Gaudreau was taking his time instead of throwing the puck away because he was afraid to be hit we likely get a lot more chances.

good season boys

hope i can be drafted by y'all again next year

I hope you don't, instead I hope the Hurricanes make the playoffs so I can join your bandwagon

 

[MonyontheMoney]

Well, I think it's fair to say the overwhelming consensus was that we were a bubble team this year, which held true, but it still stings a bit.

You always want your team to win, but it is what it is.

Go Sens!!

 

[Dertell]

Gibson was fantastic, other than that 3rd game. GG became a joke after the Boston game. Monahan did good, core players were underwhelming, bad players were really bad. Kind of forgot about Tkachuk.

**** everything, even if the season went as I expected. It sucks.

 

[Mobiandi]

Start the season off with a whimper, end it off an even more pathetic note

 

[western redmen]

Ok i concede, gaudreau was outright useless today, i thought he was invisible for 3/4 games. If elliott didnt suck so hard, gaudreau and tkachuk would be whipped hard rn

 

[MonyontheMoney]

Hopefully I can hop on the Heats playoff train and ride it for a few games.

It didn't kill the notion, because I think that notion used to be accurate to a degree (not that he was "carried" so much as Gaudreau being the driver of his line). But he was extremely good in this series, and if he continues playing this way there won't be anyone accusing him of being second fiddle to Gaudreau in future.

 

[Unholy]

I know I wont be wanted here but good season and hard fought series Flames fans. The bad goaltending and bounces made the series 4-0 but we all know it was closer than that.

Watching the series has made me more a fan of Monahan than I already was. Was your best forward in my opinion.

Hope to see you guys again and next time for another good series. I was nervous every game.

Agree with just about everything.

Posts like this are always welcome. Thanks and all the best the rest of the way!

You guys earned that plain and simple, flawless road game to close out the series.

 

[Ducksforcup]

Thanks y'all for being a pretty great fanbase. You guys represent Calgary well.

I think the Flames deserved a better fate. Even with average goaltending, I'm pretty certain this would not have been a sweep.

Monahan is a beauty that's for sure. Good luck to you guys in the future! Young team...I'm certain you'll be back and better than ever.

Yeah, Dougie is our 2nd best defenseman and a solid 2D who is a 1D in the making. He looked good out there just took some unfortunately timed penalties so the emotional short-term memory fans turned on him.

 

[Mr Snrub]

I am going to outright admit I didn't watch tonight's game, just checked my phone for updates every once in a while. After Game 3 I figured there was probably a 0% chance of them taking it to 5... I would imagine I have a pretty good idea in my head of how this game probably played out anyways, as it's seemed to fit an all-too-common narrative for this year's Flames.

That being said, a sweep should never happen with a team like this - especially considering how a substantially worse group took a game against the Ducks two years ago. I would like to keep Gulutzan, and I'd also like to see how the players respond through the first half of next season - but I am more open to trading a core piece than ever before after this embarrassment of a series. Hope it doesn't have to happen, but whatever makes us a contender.

On the upside, playoff Monahan is a thing now. Glad we have that guy at the steering wheel.

Just wait till next year, Charlie Brown

 

[BrodieGoat]

Brodie was easily our best 5v5 player tonight

You're one of the good ones Unholy, I have no issue with you and a couple others like you slipping by.
