This team is just straight up not fun to watch anymore
Time traveller here, Pelletier plays next game.
2-1 L, did not thoroughly enjoy that game
0/4 on the fucking PP. Please, get a new PP coach
At least we didn’t hit any posts?
And at least Marky had a decent game, got a .931 sv%
This team sucks
No urgency to end the game
Marky & Tanev gave them a chance with some pretty crucial stops tonight…the rest chose not to show up for them
No surprises for this one. When do we start panicking that we might miss the playoffs?
We lose alot of games where we put 35+shots. We need more finishing. Please try pelts man
This was not fun
I can’t fucking believe rasmus skated with his stick up like that through centre on a 5 on 3. Just what the fuck bro, I even knew in my mind that they were gonna somehow fuck up a 5 on 3. WHAT THE FUCK
Disappointed in their compete level in the first 40. Not pretty.
Another 1 goal loss. I’m numb.
We suck.
Need a full 60 and a goal scorer.
21-24 record, and we look like it.
Zaddy was right, the boys just didn’t want it as much. No amount of new blood on this team is going to change that our veterans don’t consistently show up.
Poor Marky, I was hoping the team would win that one for him
Their passing is atrocious. It has been an issue all year but tonight was ridiculous. I swear I have not seen the flames pass that bad since Geoff Ward.
Let me guess, nothing changes for the next game.
This is definitely one of those *throws hands up* “I guess” games.
Come out slow, fall behind, make it close, push hard, get goalie’d, fail to pull even, lose, experience flames hockey.
Looked like they were playing 5 on 4 the whole game anyway, they were not ready for this one.
Was there a party with Coleman’s homies last night?
Boooooo!
What are we like 2-5-0 against the preds? Too quote Kelly, preds just wanted it “more badly”.
Boys knew what the preds were going to bring and still didn’t show up for the first period. Lucky bounce goals tonight though.
Flames may have had more 10 shots than Nashville but we we’re outplayed most of the game by them. Not a good way to end this road trip. If they come out against Colorado next game like they did tonight, it could get ugly.
I dunno man…I’m trying not to be a doomer in here, but I get zero enjoyment from watching this team. The apathy is really setting in. We are not getting any better, and nothing is changing. This team is unbearably boring.
Outshot the opposing team? Check.
Shitty PP? Check.
Marky bails the team out with a massive save but still is the 2nd best goalie on the ice? Check.
Distinct kicking motion? Check.
Huberdeau with juicy turnovers? Check.
This has to be a loss, right?
Last half of the game was decent but that won’t get us wins. Avs are getting their players back off injuries, Kane is back for the Oilers, Kraken are on a roll. Playoffs spots are already getting harder to find.
We’re getting good goaltending now but our entire team needs to step up. Sloppy passes, horrible turnovers, missed shots/posts and bad penalties have already hurt us but they will kill us down the line.
My general thoughts for the game tonight:
– a well played game! wish we scored another goal, but i was very entertained! they need to start on time tho, a better start and this one probably goes to OT.
– we really need a replacement for lucic on that line… i really felt like at multiple points if a different player was in his position we would’ve been able to convert or at least create a better chance.
– HUGE game by Zadorov. He played really well, both offensively and defensively. Awesome interview too, I liked hearing him be upset and clearly invested.
– Huby made 3-4 really really nice passes tonight. He played really well. again going back to one of the previous points, if somebody other than Lucic was there I think they score a goal tonight. (please play Pelts and/or Rosie there and move Lucic to 4th line sutter)
– I felt Andersson had a rough game tonight, which sucks because he’s one of my favourites. That penalty to null the near full 2 minute 5-3 was really frustrating too – even though it was a little bit of a soft call.
– PP needs to get going. I thought they looked ok tonight (and got a disallowed goal), but they need to start getting results. It’s losing us games right now.
– Marky played pretty good tonight. The result was not his fault at all. both goals were pretty much unstoppable
– Saros also played really really well, give him some credit. Almost no rebounds all night, and he made some really timely saves. He’s easily a top 5 goalie in the league for me, he’s underrated. I feel we score 2-3 tonight against most other goalies.
– I’m not too disappointed with this loss. I think the boys played well, and hats off to Nashville because they played really well too. We’ve just gotta learn how to start on time. Onto the next one
Toffoli’s pressure was great
Not even an entertaining team to watch anymore. Ugh fucking sucks
Sutter ——> the team needs offence
Sutter ——> puts lucic on the 2nd line.
Love it. Just waste your offensive talent because you cannot put aside your biases. Maybe sutter was taught correlation = causation because that line just happened to have a massive streak of luck.
1 goal would’ve been all the difference tonight. Too bad
This is the most boring team in the entire NHL. Just the definition of mid.
Tyler Tifonlyitwentin
Bad 3rd from Dallas carried over too tonight. Markstrom played well.
Played better as the game went on.
Move on to Colorado on Wednesday
This game was not Wah
The Lucic top 6 needs to end. He was a pylon the entire game.
Next game Avs, and they’re heating up after an endless string of injuries.
Looking at it live and in person…they sucked tonight.
Looch was terrible. Kadri was the only one on that line doing anything. Once again the Backlund line was the best. Stone was terrible. Hani-Andersson looked lost a lot – blind passes to no one all night.
Bummer they didn’t show up.
The crowd in Nashville though, wow. Wasn’t a full barn but it sure as hell sounded like it. I’ve been to a bunch of arenas to see the Flames and this was easily the loudest. No real assholes, either. Got taunted once.
