Ritchie and Kadri with the season on the line. E L I T E decisions by Sutter.
Not the season end we wanted but the season end we deserve
No more Aramaic curses
Nick Ritchie in the shootout just put me on tilt.
#justiceforlindholm&toffoli
Sutter should be fired TONIGHT no excuse
Fuck Sutter. How do you choose ritchie over Toffoli? Sutter’s an embarrassment to the league
They better play coronto and Pelletier against the sharks. Fuck sutter. Kadri and Ritchie in the shootout?
Fitting an OTL would finish us
Nick Ritchie- elite shoot out specialist
Another 1 goal loss while outshooting opponent 10+ to pad our record setting stat
Excited to finally see Coronato even its only one game
Well let’s see the kids next game atleast or I ain’t fucking watching
Best we can hope for now is another OT loss to tie the NHL record.
I fully expect we’ll beat the sharts on Wednesday 8-1.
I think we all kinda knew a while ago, but it was fun to watch some meaningful games to close out the season….
Typical Flames move to string us along and then provide a *Falcon Nut Punch* at the perfect moment.
Thank god. It’s over.
Kadri who’s sucked at shootouts all year, Ritchie who just sucks and Mikael Backlund who has 1 shootout goal in his entire career.
I’ve been defending Sutter all season but there is no defending that. He’s officially senile
I’m honestly relieved. I don’t have to cling onto false hope anymore. I’m free.
Ritchie didn’t have a bad attempt but why is he the guy taking the season-saving shot?!?!?!?!?!?
Is Sutter *literally* asking to get fired?
Imagine picking Nick fucking Ritchie in a shootout over your teams top goal scorer with the season on the line
Did Sutter do that as an fu joke? Like wtf lol
I hope huberdeau looks that good next year though. One of few bright spots
Not Foli.
Not Lindholm.
Not Ras.
Not Dube.
Not Coleman.
Nick Ritchie in a must score SO situation to keep the season alive…what planet am I on?
This game convinced me sutter already had a non refundable vacation planned during playoffs
Let’s stop blaming the shootout players lol yeah the selection was a joke. But we just lost to fucking Chicago, and lost to Nashville who is missing their whole core. We’re a joke and can’t close out games against undeserving teams. Why would we deserve the playoffs? And our game management is fucking ABSURD. one of the most frustrating seasons I’ve ever watched in my 20+ years as a fan. Fucking joke
Wtf was Kadri doing in OT and during the shootout? Dude’s totally checked out ready to play Golf….
At least Huberdeau is trying. Goddamn. Brutal
Fire Sutter. You cannot put your 16th best forward on the ice with a chance to win it in the shootout…
this sub made this season tolerable. gg 🫡
Send the old man to the fkin farm, I don’t give AF If Ritchie is a shootout god in practice, with your season on the line you put your gamers out and give them a shot. The fact that Lindholm or Toffoli didn’t get a shot in the SO is a straight up insult to them and a disgrace to your top players.
I’ve defended Sutter in the past but screw the old dinosaur get the moron out of my sight
Screwing over our young players, pissing off the vets, employing a flawed system when the players hate your guts, Ownership better see the money they committed to this roster and tell the old man to beat it
They died doing what they loved: outshooting their opponent by 10+ and losing by a goal
I wasn’t fully on the fire sutter train but come on Kadri and Nick Ritchie? What the fuck was he thinking… Get this guy outta here
On the brightside, Lucic on the second line isn’t Sutter’s worst decision this year anymore.
Actually feels like Sutter just gave us all the middle finger with that Nick Ritchie pick.. fucking disgusting
Genuinely shocked Sutter went Ritchie third. also Kadri has that Draisaitl tier shootout effort. Was rooting for you guys for a possible BoA run back. Hopefully Sutter is back on the farm permanently. Brutal year.
Nashville had nine players in their line-up tonight younger than Walker Duehr. Five of them are rookies. The Predators are still alive in the playoff race. The Flames are not.
To the Sutter defenders out there: Yeah, no. He needs to be fired.
This sub is fun even when our team sucks. Cheers everyone! See you all in October.
Stetcher would have been better in the shootout. He wanted to win
So the AHL version of the predators just basically eliminated us from the playoffs in a head to head skill competition🤦🏻♂️
Fire Sutter
What was with that fucking SO lineup??? Where’s Toffoli, Lindy and Anderson 🤦♂️
Also, 8 rookies on Nashvilles roster. Imagine if Sutter allowed Pelly & Coronato play…. BOOOO
Duehr has been the one huge plus for me this season. Love watching that kid play hockey.
