[Boomstick]

Wow. Beautiful. I'm pleasantly surprised.
Way to go Flames.

Good on you Jacob Markstrom. That's what we've expected out of you all year long.

I was hard on Lucic, Ritchie and Kadri tonight. 4th line played quite well.

Put Duehr or Dube on pp 2 instead of Ritchie.

Wow. Huge 2 points.

 

[Tofveve]

What a win, color me shocked. Huge win! Much credit to Markstrom, wow. Best game for him IMO. Good game by a bunch of other Flames, maybe Mangi being the 2nd star.

 

[Boomstick]

Put it in the win column.

 

[CamPopplestone]

Stop giving me hope. I just want the bullet at this point

 

[Backlund]

One of the few games this season you can say Markstrom was the MVP.

Mostly everyone fought hard tonight too.

Can't believe we won.

Typical Flames shit. Lose to the worst team in the league but beat the team you're chasing for a playoff spot.

 

[JurassicTunga]

This team makes no damn sense. Imagine if we were able to beat the Blackhawks like a normal team. FFS.

Well. Still alive. Big win.

 

[Bjornar Moxnes]

Literally happened back in January as well. Lose big to Chicago, dominate Seattle.

 

[Backlund]

It makes this team so unlikeable it's not even funny. I knew last night they would lose and that they would win tonight. I was so close to betting on both games and decided not to.

On a backend of a back to back… on the road nevertheless.

Basically need to win out. .. still can’t believe we lost to the Hawks.

 

[Bounces R Way]

That 1st period was horrendous as was like every PP, can't believe we went 0/6 and won lol

Liked the battle other than that tho. Marky was good.
Noted AHL scrub Walker Duehr another GWG ho hum

 

[Tofveve]

DRINK! fired up right now! Woo-hoo!

 

[crazyfisherman]

Ughhh stop pulling me back in u goons!!!

 

[23Monahan]

Still very unlikely we make playoffs. We would need to win all three games(regulation vs nashville), nashville beat winnpeg in regulation and winnipeg lose 2 of their last 4 games, If winnipeg picks up 6 points in anyway, they beat us with the tie breaker and nashville could get infront of us too, although they have a tough scehdule to lock out the year. 16th overall is destined for this year it seems lol

 

[crackdown44]

I wish they’d just let me die

 

[Ace Rimmer]

Guys just remember Duehr isn’t very good. The internet has said so.

Offer him 5 years @ $1.5 million aav.

I think you may be overthinking it. If we beat Nashville and win our other two games we don't need to worry about what they're up to.

Assuming the Flames do that, we need Winnipeg to drop three points. Could be to Nashville, but also could be to Minnesota or Colorado, who are currently fighting for the Central.

 

[joescores]

Just keep winning Flames! Need some luck now. We have been very very unlucky this season.

 

[Anglesmith]

This was basically last year's Flames making a cameo appearance in the clutch. A couple of sloppy moments but defended well for the most part.

 

[Yepthatsme]

We don’t really need the last 3 wins like everyone’s saying, but it’d definitely help our case. If we win out, we beat Winnipeg if they go 2-1-1 or worse. Winnipeg is a bad team who just got boosted by playing 3 tired teams in a row. Nashville, Minnesota and Colorado are all going to be tough test for them. A 1-3 finish for Winnipeg is realistic, where a 1-1-1 finish would get us in. Moral of the story, every win helps, and just like the last 6 losses that were labeled the end of our season, our next one isn’t necessarily it either.

On an entirely different note, in do or die hockey, Huberdeau has points in 11 of our last 13 games playing mostly with Backlund and Coleman. If that’s not a great sign I don’t know what is.

Huberdeau and Weegar have been good in the last little while.

Dear goal posts. You've been a jerk to us all season. Please turn your focus to the Jets for the next few games.

Thanks

 

[Ace Rimmer]

I'm still trying to figure out why Ras was being booed all night. Like, I'm sorry that your player pushed him down he fell into the boards... but it was a 2 minute call not 5. Booing the referee? Sure I could understand that.

I remember going to a Flames Kings game where Phaneuf got ejected for blatantly boarding Kopitar. We booed Kopitar all night.

At the end of the day it's the right thing to do.

And ideally the Preds as well.

It’s because he was down on the ice for awhile, but 30 seconds later, he was out on the ice participating in the power play. Booing for theatrics, not the call.
