[Summer Rose]

Primrose, want to give us your opinion on Turris?

Considering I value my ability to post on this website, I'll hold my tongue.

 

[SmellOfVictory]

Kerr and Simmer are killing me this year. We NEED new announcers so bad I could cry.

I don't care how grating his voice is, Loubardias was way better than Kerr.

 

[Anglesmith]

Bouma with the windmill glove save.

 

[Taranis]

Galiardi displays the two things he brings to the team in quick succession: missing an easy scoring chance and diving.

 

[Anglesmith]

No Kerr, Turris is not looking for his hat-trick goal.

 

[Calculon]

The Sens winning does two very important things. First, it helps the Flames get that top five pick. Second, it prevents the Ducks from getting yet another blue chip prospect.

 

[DCDM]

Bunch of clowns.

 

[Summer Rose]

About to get on a rant about Kyle Turris...

Someone stop me.

Bunch of clowns.

Butler started that play by throwing it to an area where Backlund had zero options.

Welp, Ottawa really turned things on in the third and fully deserved the victory. 'Twas good to see Monahan get his 20th in Ottawa.

Well, I could forum ban you.

 

[Pirate King Luffy]

I think Butler played an alright game.

Anyway, good news/bad news:

Good news: Top five pick!
Bad news: We lost.

 

[Beats By CoRD]

Galiardi is beyond useless. He's a UFA after this right?

 

[Sean Monahan]

that's a scary thought... either way they'll get a pretty good prospect whom they can afford to nurture and develop until he's ready.

RFA after the season

 

[YMCMBYOLO]

Happy for Monahan!

Eh, could care less that we lost, though. Still was a good game, imo. Just unfortunate.

 

[MuffinMerc]

Anyway, good news/bad news:

Good news: Top five pick!
Bad news: We lost.

It should be:
Good news: We lost.
Even better news: Top five pick!

Not going to claim I watched this game as I was busy in the field all day (yes on days like these...) but even without knowing how the team and its individual players performed, it's been feeling like the Flames have been asking for a drubbing after giving out a few of their own recently.

This was very far from a drubbing. We heavily outplayed them in the second period and it looked like we would win, but we ran out of gas in the third. Their sixth goal was an EN, too.

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

Not really mad about the loss, congrats to Monahan on getting his 20th. Quite the accomplishment for a 19-year old rookie to achieve.

 

[Ace Rimmer]

No Kerr, Turris is not looking for his hat-trick goal.

He also claimed the Flames had a 3-1 lead earlier in the game.

The number of times he's flat out wrong in his statements is mind boggling.

Sean Monahan Snipes 20th Goal Of Rookie Season

I believe Sean Monahan will score today and get his 20th of the season.

I believe Mikael Backlund will score today and get his 19th of the season.

They'll both be at 20 goals on the season coming back home after this roadtrip.

I should have called a win today.

Pretty good game, you can't expect your goalie to save games for you when you give up as many shots as the Flames in back to back games. Thirty seven shots on Karri Ramo tonight, that's to many in consecutive games, 41 last game.

More than likely has to do with Ladislav Smid being injured.

Chad Billins and Tyler Wotherspoon played okay but were both -2 which is understandable seeing as how they're both rookies.

Nice goals by Paul Byron and Matt Stajan.

Jiri Hudler with a couple assists, Mikael Backlund with one as well and a couple good scoring chances too. He'll get to 20 here shortly.

Offensively the Flames were all right tonight, just need to tighten up a bit defensively and try not to give up so many shots.

Nice goal by Sean Monahan, his 20th in his rookie season, good accomplishment and congratulations to Sean with many more to come.

Should be a good game on Tuesday against the Leafs.

 

[JagrBomber]

With the loss, the Flames have been officially eliminated from playoff contention.



Actually pretty impressive it took this long, considering how TSN and also most of us thought the season would go.

 

[InfinityIggy]

Hopefully the Islanders can pick out a win. Florida and NYI also play this week so that should help our tank.

Wonder if it would still be possible for Florida to pass us, probably not. That org is so terrible, they have been awful for how many seasons now?

 

[Nordberg]

When a game is on NBCSN I use an IP spoofing service to watch a team broadcast on GCL so I don't have to listen to Doc Emrick.

I'm really glad I'm not the only one who absolutely can't stand Doc Emrick. Both his voice and his vocabulary... He calls so many games come playoff time too...
