Backlund with arguably the worst change I’ve ever seen
Yup.
Yup
Change the drinking game from “Markstrom/Vladar big save – drink” –> to Finish and fill then finish again
Awful change but if any player on this team deserves to be cut some slack it’s Backlund so whatever.
I for one. Am shocked
Brutal change, Backs. 😮💨
As is tradition.
SO MUCH FOR THE 10 GAME HEATER😍😍🥰😍🥰😘🥰😄😍
LOSER POINT! LOSER POINT! LOSER POINT!
Good thing we have made zero adjustments to improve our play in OT
Backs..
OT is a puck possession game. Don’t try a 1 on 3 and then take an idiotic change. I love you man but fuck.
How we feeling about that shitty GI penalty on Duehr now? Stings even more now
Not good enough to be a contender, not bad enough for a high draft pick. Last nearly 2 decades of flames summed up
Pelletier is the only thing keeping me sane this season
This team makes me feel bad for people who weren’t born/live in Calgary, just chose this team lmao, chose to be hurt year after year, game after game.
They don’t even suck in a fun way. This team is just boring.
At least we get to watch pelts though
22 one-goal losses **LOL**
If this team could only play three periods of hockey.
Pissing away points all the way to the 16th overall pick, the flames way 🔥
22 one-goal losses fuck man. That feels extremely accurate.
Feels like this is the universe telling Treliving to not buy next week. It’s just not their season
They clearly adjusted their strategy for the 3rd period…but why?? They were limiting Vegas chances just by all the pressure they were applying on offence
When it was 3-2 there was zero doubt in my mind they were going to lose that game. Total certainty. Flames hockey everybody.
No chance we make the playoff at this point.
Wild and Avs woke up. Our div owns us
They played well tho. Gonna need that effort for all of March. Especially with those Minnesota games
This team cannot carry any momentum. Game to game, period to period, shift to shift; they have shown time and again that they cannot be trusted to play well for any length of time. This is a .500 team masked by a good start and I’m tired of believing we can turn it around.
“Protecting the lead” by dumping the puck in and sitting back is a really dumb strategy.
As a fan on the east coast, why do I stay up til midnight to watch this shitshow? It’s disappointment every damn night 😓
I hate that we’re losing all these games in OT. If we were losing in regulation we might have a shot at Bedard. Lol.
That was the worst executed OT I’ve ever seen. Why did nobody join the attack with Backlund? Then they just pull back as Vegas walks in with 3 attackers and score
This Flames organization is just a toxic wasteland at this point. Murray Edwards is responsible for the blame of enabling this old boys club catastrophe. He’s happy producing a mediocre product if it’ll get him an extra 3-4 games of playoff profits each year.
As soon as we went up 3-1 I was about to comment “OTL 4-3 incoming” but decided to be a good, optimistic fan and didnt . Anyways , disappointed but not surprised
Another blown two goal lead in the third
Another loser point
Another game where we concede 4 goals
Oilers win 7-2 down 1-0. Never let off the gas. We are up 3-1… Cmon man
Win one Lose one
Win one Lose one
Win one Lose one

Well, classic opposing team comeback in the 3rd period to them winning in OT. That’s flames hockey baby
3 on 3 every team puts their star players on. For us its Chris Tanev, Backlund and Dube. These 3 players are great at 5 on 5 but this isn’t it… I can’t comprehend Sutter… Its the same as if Vegas would put Rielly Smith, Whitecloud and William Carrier to start OT. Nobody does that except for the Flames
Why isn’t there anyone on here bitching about vladar? Like yeah that change sucked, but honestly backlund is one of the only players who derserves to make a mistake. The goaltending is the issue here. Lost us so many damn games this year.
Play good 40 minutes
Play shit 25 minutes
No sadness just pain
I know it’s bad, but I’m wishing the team would collapse and not win another game this season.
It’s a stupid system we have that actively rewards teams for being bad. But that’s the system we have. What is the difference between barely missing the playoffs and finishing last? Shit, I’d rather finish last then get bounced out of the first round.
Maybe one day we’ll get a better system that incentives teams to not be terrible instead of rewarding it. Until then, if we can’t be elite then we should be terrible.
The only thing Treliving is going to be selling at the trade deadline is his fucking house in Calgary LOL
