    I honestly feel bad for anyone who purchased tickets to this and then made the drive to Edmonton to watch this absolute shit show on ice

    Conny needs to realize we already have so many things in place for a rebuild:
    – overpaid underperforming vets
    – so so coaching
    – not terrible but not clutch goaltending
    – prospects that will make a great supporting cast (coronato, Pelletier, Honzek, Zary, poirier, morin, Wolf and more)

    Please, tank and get some elite talent. We can be a young, fun team to watch when the new arena opens. Even make playoffs that year. But trade Lindy, Hanifin, Tanev with salary retained. Vladar if you can. We can do this!

    Non hockey intermission question.

    How do you take your take your coffee?

  4. TravisTouchdown_51

    We’re down 1-3 after 20 minutes and Markstrom has been our best player, says it all really.

  5. Visotto1

    I wish they’d make just one more pass before shooting.

    ~ no one ever

  6. Beginning-Gear-744

    Maybe promoting an assistant GM and assistant coach of a perennially mediocre franchise to lead roles weren’t wise moves. Trading last year’s leading scorer for essentially a bag of pucks hasn’t helped either.

    Watching at work

    Wow we are abysmal

  8. shwizah

    No heart, no hustle, no jam. This is embarrassing.

  9. rockylion

    Well that was one of the periods of hockey that I have watched

  10. natenicholson

    I think we’ve gotta be bottom 3 worst teams

  11. surrealsoymilk

    The Flames need a hard ass coach, the more toxic the better. Who do you hire?

    Edit: My answer, Bill Peters or sssniperwolf

  12. doughflow

    So we are rebuilding, but not by choice. Got it.

  13. KWeber94

    This team has no soul. Just guys throwing the puck around out there on a Sunday night sums up the first period. Tough to watch

  14. Comfortable-Ad-7158

    The best part is that all the coiler fans won’t shut about this win.

    When we all knew we would lose, we all know we suck. Tell us something we don’t know.

  15. brokensword15

    well… that Celebrini guy looks pretty good

  16. NotFuryRL

    Mikaela from The War Amps is stronger than any Flame (other than Coleman, Coronato, and Marky)

  17. marbsarebadredux

    We’re making the Oilers defence look elite. The *Oilers* defence

  18. theluckyllama

    JFC BRAD, WHAT DID YOU DO TO OUR TEAM!?

  19. Sufficient-Cookie404

    This team isn’t in a good place

  20. MisfitFlame

    “Look at the effort” IT WAS A PENALTY

  21. Comfortable-Ad-7158

    Such a sportsnet thing to do to put a positive spin on an oilers penalty.

  22. Individual_Potato629

    So what happens now lol? If you were the owner/gm, what would you realistically do to help them team be better? It’s still early in the season so tons of time to turn it around… if changes happen. Thoughts?

  23. NotFuryRL

    “These guys came ready to play” We most certainly did not.

  24. MisfitFlame

    The cum drops on the oilers jersey must be from the media

  25. Cunning_Linguiste

    I wouldn’t be too concerned for a flames comeback if I’m Edmonton lol

  26. phatman7676

    Well on the positive side…..if we lose, we will have the same amount of wins as the Oilers. Soooo

  27. Flamez54

    At this point I am just looking for either Playoffs or high draft pick, this team has never had a top 3 overall draft pick and our highest was mfing Bennett.. meanwhile the Oil got 4 first overall picks in the 2010’s..
    WE GOTTA CHANGE SMTH

  28. MisfitFlame

    Holy fuck Ron is from Red Deer? No wonder dude lives on the fence

  29. buchsy45

    Anyone else not really like Ron McLean? He’s pretty annoying in my opinion

    I miss listening to Grapes roast him on coaches corner

  30. HMTMKMKM95

    Well, I’m ready for Tankathon 23-24. We just don’t have it.

  31. Rulebreaker15

    Ok, on the subject of the coilers pants. They look nice on a design board, work as a retro nod, but they make them look bottom heavy and slow. And at night they turn yellow, no carhartt tan at in sight.

    4/10 would not recommend.

  32. BeerLeagueSpode

    Ron only came here to fellate mcdingus in person

  33. MisfitFlame

    “Hey Flames fans, here are two teams you certainly won’t give a shit about! Happy heritage classic!”
