    “Tons of positives out there tonight, boys. Tons of fucking positives.

    That’s a good team out there, boys, that is a great fucking team.

    Core group’s been together a long time.

    And we battled ’em, boys, we fucking battled them.

    OK, we got ’em one more time this season. One more time and I can promise you all, we are gonna get them boys!”

    *loud farting*

    L’s

    That’s when I’m not impressed.

  3. BreathingImp

    Frustrating game. Flames looked good in the 2nd and 3rd. Unfortunately Avs did what the Flames have struggled with all year. They took advantage of the Flames starting slow and then played defence and held their lead.

  4. Drcanadaeh

    Win while out shooting the other team challenge (impossible)

  5. natenicholson

    What a shitshow

    At least we beat them on the deserve to win o meter

    If expected goals= a win we’d be better than the goddamn bruins

    Goodnight all

  6. CaptinDerpI

    Wow, another loss where we outshot the opponents!

    I would’ve rather stuck my dick into a hornets nest than watch that

  7. xThunderstruck33x

    Treliving gambled big and instead of going for a proper rebuild, we went all in and signed Huberdeau and Kadri.

    It was a colossal failure, we are nowhere near being a contender and now have to pay these guys for the next decade. I like Kadri as a player, but Huberdeau has always been nothing more than a PP specialist. There is a reason he was sheltered on the 2nd line in Florida. He is a good player at 5 or 6 million, not 11 million.

    I don’t even know what you do at this point. I guess hope we can sneak in and go on a run. What an absolute mess. And Sutter needs to start giving the younger guys a chance.

  8. If hockey was two periods we’d have a 5 year dynasty by now

  9. marbsarebadredux

    At least we only have Huberdeau for 8 more years at 10.5 mill. What a game changer!

  10. circusbeaver

    I suppose it’s not really a good sign when you don’t care if anybody on the team stays or goes. Lifeless clock punchers.

  11. TravisTouchdown_51

    Second game in a row where we started the game poorly, started playing better in the second, and finally looked like ourselves again in the third. Too little too late, we are running ourselves out of runway playing .500 hockey, we need to see the third period effort for a full 60 minutes again.

  12. Suzaku94

    I really don’t want to just get bounced in the first round. Would rather we embrace the ass of this season and get a decent pick

  13. DOITLIKEBRUTUS

    I forgot to watch and the Flames forgot to play; what a pair we are.

  14. abrandnewsharpie

    Once again our top players just cannot take over a game. We literally need to rely on our “3rd line” to get things going.

    Going down 0-3 in the first period of the game is just unacceptable. It’s pathetic. I used to think Robert calling into Fan960’s overtime was overreacting every time he called this franchise rotten from the top down but now I’m starting to agree. It’s a mindset that our players just refuse to shake. They only compete when they have to.

    If it were up to me I’d start the rebuild sooner than later.

  15. Over halfway through the season, and we are just looking worse and worse. Guys are starting to look like they’re phoning it in. This reminds me of how Vancouver was playing early last year before Green got booted – everyone knows this isn’t working, and is waiting for the ball to drop. This isn’t even like past years where we’ve sucked where I can say “Oh well our goaltending is great” or “we’ve got great scorers, just need to round out the defence”. Literally everything is bad. I cannot point to one saving grace on this team. Everything sucks. This product does not work.

  16. Man all summer all i looked forward to were flames games and this season is progressively getting more disappointing as it goes. Never thought id ever dislike watching hockey but this season is really ruining hockey for me. Sucks

  17. Top_Tumbleweed

    It’s looking like blow it up o’clock. We’ve only been holding onto t the playoff race because Edmonton was stuttering too, looks like they’ve figured it out and we’re going to finish well into 5th

  18. Accomplished_Skin_22

    I feel pretty apathetic about the Flames. What a mediocre franchise

  19. Sufficient-Cookie404

    That was a really bad game, it’s harder and harder to watch this team lose.

    I’m watching Sutter bullshit after the game, and he doesn’t give a fuck about anything. He’s lost his care just like the players have.

  20. tallmaletree

    I mean Sutter literally just said it himself. We are not a playoff team, teams like Colorado are in a different class. “We are a middle of the pack team.”

  21. Well it was interesting talking to makar’s dad throughout the game. But that’s about it

  22. Live-Yogurt-6380

    What if no one good wants to play in Calgary? Maybe that’s it?

  23. Yetimanchild

    What’s the point Sutter ? Post game you say we’re not in their class, they’re Stanley Cup champs for a reason. So what’s the fucking point playing the same line up ?

  24. vonnierotten

    Sometimes I worry that this team isn’t very good

  25. If we played every game with the intensity we show in the 3rd this team would be good, similar to the start of the season. I feel like there is something going on behind the scenes that is rotten. I cannot understand this team.

  26. snakethejake24

    We are averaging a goal an hour the last two games. To me, that means offensively we should not make any changes at all. I hope sutter agrees. We aren’t going to let these small skilled players ruin hockey here in Calgary or miss the playoffs trying

  27. Trufflehunter89

    Lol can u guys even imagine one of our players getting a hat trick. More likely Harvey the hound literally eats a kid.

  28. CostcoTPisBest

    CGY not a playoff team. Some saying the team looked good. If a car wreck had no injuries.

  29. capitansorenson

    Fan base is supremely tough on our team and I’m one of them. We can do better. But I’ll always try to be positive.

  30. _hurtin_albertan_

    Man I feel bad for Treliving – hire Gulutzan? Too soft on the players, need a hard ass coach. Hire Peters – got some initial results but oh whoops turns out he’s a racist ass. Hire Ward – too soft, too inexperienced, need a hard ass coach. Hire Sutter – got some initial results but now most fans want him gone.

    Soooo…players coach next?

  31. Paulhockey77

    Sutter and his obsession for veterans is killing me. It’s looking like guys like Pelletier and Phillips are never going to get a chance under this guy. Wasting talent by the handful

  32. frickinsweetdude

    Whoberdeau and 2.5m retained to the Jackets for Johnny Hockey
