Oi vey

 

[Body Checker]

Don’t sign anymore old guys to long term deals or we are the next San Jose

 

[Mobiandi]

Disappeared into fin air.

Can't wait for him to disappear to Boston this summer

 

[Bert Mckrakken]

And we didn't bring Wolf up why?

Ive been saying it since like Feb.

Everyone all like "Oh a rookie goalie can't make that big of a difference"

Binnington, Murray, Roy.

I think just the team having confidence their goalie would make a save would have done wonders.....

Fkn Marky...

 

[Yepthatsme]

Where the hell was Hanifin? This team lol

Hanifin activated high because he had support from Backlund, which is a very normal decision. Backlund double clutching whether to pinch or play back, then covering no one on his back check caused that goal. Defensively he’s been rough tonight.

Can't blame St. Marky on any of the goals.

 

[Body Checker]

Lindholm needs to start producing some clutch goals

 

[Boomstick]

What an absolute f***ed up period that was. Ups and downs.
The way we're going, it'll be another 1 goal loss, another game we outshot the opponent by 10 + and another game we don't come back in the 3rd.
Adding to our records boys.
Hoping for a miracle.

 

[super6646]

Can't blame St. Marky on any of the goals.

Demko is allowed to make the out of worldly save however.

It’s pathetic! The guy f***ing sucks and has all season

 

[Bounces R Way]

f*** are we f***ing slow

Flames playing at 0.5 speed. Another opportunity to not come back being down after 2

 

[Deen]

 

[BRobMint]

The Flames are still the only team in the NHL to not have a 3rd period comeback win this season. Doubt that changes tonight

 

[super6646]

Valimaki with another pt.

Sutter can go to hell. Makes lemons and nothing else

 

[Anglesmith]

Still can't understand why fingers are being pointed at Markstrom for games like this. Holding the other team to 12 shots is literally meaningless if you are still giving up this many high-danger chances. Could he have read the Pettersson shot differently? Sure, but that goal goes in on elite goalies all the time. The rest of them? Play some defence. He's already made saves on odd-man rushes, deflections in tight and a few other dangerous chances, but expecting him to stop them all just because of the low shot count continues to mystify me.

You have to love the fact that we have so few shots against most nights, but we would be better off allowing 30 contested shots than giving up a breakaway, an uncontested 2-on-1 and a back door tap in all in the same game.

Only goal I'd argue he should save was the breakaway, which is still a grade A chance, the other 3 are all tap ins from defensive breakdowns.

I agree. We need to allow 0 shots. Otherwise it’s unfair

Huberdeau is like the tin man. The winter sucked out his oil.

 

[Mobiandi]

Thinking about all the one-goal games we lost and our ZERO third period comebacks, imagine what an extra 10 goals split across Kadri, Mangiapane, Lindholm, Huberdeau, Weegar would mean for this team.

Dillon Dube has 2 goals since Feb 16th and is sitting 4th in Flames goals.

Maybe this is the game

Speculating is dumb, especially after the season they had last year (pretty much everyone getting career highs), but I would not be surprised if the team has tuned Sutter out already.

IDGAF is Quenville is a butthole, this team under him would do wonders me thinks.

 

[BRobMint]

0-4 PP. No shots on goal the last two Power Plays

 

[Anglesmith]

There is Markstrom not making any big saves again.

 

[JPeeper]

huge save from Markstrom, needed that one
