    8-2 be us right now.

    Impressive 60 minute non-effort tonight!

  2. DonkeyDong1337

    I like that woman at the end making sure her coat covers up her flamea jersey lol

  3. misterktomato

    Toronto just phoned in.

    They called back 6 goals!!

  4. moirende

    So… that’s a thing that happened. Yep. I am… sad.

  5. Steve78293

    Atleast losing 3-2 vs 8-2 is the same shit

  6. kinkypuffs

    Darryl I love you, but you gots to go back to the farm

  7. xThunderstruck33x

    Hard for the rest of the team to show up when your 2 “best” players have been checked out most of the year.

    Huberdeau and Kadri are so bad this year.

  8. Nice-End-4742

    around 2015 or so, i remember the flames being embarrased by the pens, then proceeding to go on a 10 game winning streak. maybe this game is exactly what this team needed to get their shit together and go on a run.

  9. Little-Aide-5396

    Post game show minus anything Derek wills says should be pretty electric tonight. Been looking forward to it since the first intermission

  10. Trufflehunter89

    POV: getting gifted the 2 teams behind u getting shutout on a day u didn’t play.

    Flames: 🤷‍♂️

  11. Hockonlube

    We were in that game right until about the 3rd minute.

  12. Huntsville_Walls

    When the pressure’s on, the Flames sure can arrive to an arena

  13. I know we are technically only 4 points out of a playoff spot, but thats gotta be the knockout punch, right? Does anybody here actually want to see this team get stomped by Vegas or Dallas in round 1? I’d rather we get the slightly better draft pick and extra time to sort this mess out. No way can it be tolerated to ice this product again next season.

  14. It’s ok, any minute now Sutter will turn the team around and we will just get in the playoffs and win the cup like the Kings did!

  15. Ayekay1444

    I really don’t think we re making the playoffs …

  16. crimdawgg

    Well that was a fun watch….. if you’re a self loathing masochist…. see yall tomorrow

  17. Mammoth_Study3818

    The offseason acquisitions don’t fit Sutters system. Which seems to be very outdated to todays hockey. Technically a system that works. But complete mismatch between system and players. Those contracts aren’t going anywhere fast. Nothing has changed all season, might as well make a coaching change for a chance at a woodcroft last year turnaround. Or at least just get a head start on coaching search next year. Calgary is going to be stuck with these contracts, should get a coach with a system that fits it players to maximize talent.

  18. KaRnAgEGiLL

    I was too busy today to watch the game… AND THANK FUCK FOR THAT

  19. raymondcy

    Sutter giving an interview in a few mins. Making popcorn.

  20. MichealCeraV2

    You think they are just throwing to get rid of Sutter? They just don’t seem to have any pep to their step.

  21. Skinkybob

    Everyone likes to shit on the fact that the Flames re-signed Huberdeau before seeing what he’d be like under Sutter. How come we don’t have the same level of criticism for the re-signing of Sutter before we saw how he’d work with these new players?

  22. TheThatNeverWas

    Since about the third game of this season, Darryl’s been talking about how ordinary this team is. His job is to make this team believe in themselves, not to make the press believe in him.

  23. Live-Yogurt-6380

    11 and 0 is still in the realm of possibility…

  24. One-Hall

    It’s so depressing how fucked this team looks for the future. Dropping Sutter and hoping a new coach and system can revive Huberdeau is the only hope and we all know that’s not happening.

  25. Mikeyboy5387

    Well if it was football it wouldn’t be that bad of a deficit

  26. 5599Nalyd

    What a display tonight from the team. Truly one of the hockey games I ever watched…

  27. vcjkkjvv

    I’m not a flames fan but I’m curious what you guys think went wrong this year, I know markstrom hasn’t played well, I’m not sure if it’s cause of the goalie coach or not but he played well under Ian Clark in van, also is it time to fire sutter

  28. Bigasspikachu

    Shout out to Matthew Tkachuk for requesting a trade out of Calgary

  29. Master-Defenestrator

    This team looks like it’s been assembled with other team’s spare parts, which is exactly what they are. How many teams with no core pieces they drafted themselves have won a cup?

  30. Raptors887

    You should not be happy with the 8th seed to begin with. Its better that they miss the playoffs so at least some changes will be done in the off-season.

  31. CorrosionRF

    Hockey was definitely played in a building in Los Angeles.

  32. MarLaugh

    So many players played so badly tonight.

    I get it, we all have off nights. But this was a rough one.

    The only players that I didn’t really feel played that terribly were Stetcher, Lindholm and Backlund. Everyone else felt so off.

  33. b-mint94

    Steinberg said on the Fan tonight that the locker room is disjointed and that veterans aren’t seeing eye-to-eye with Darryl

  34. MonkeySailor

    Not good enough to be a contender, not bad enough to win a lottery; Forever in the mushy middle – A Calgary Flames Story

  35. BrokenAssGlass

    I 8-2 say it, but we might not be a very good team

  36. Best part of the game was the Canadian anthem

  37. capitansorenson

    We’ve had 2; 5 game losing streaks, and one 7 game losing streak. And only two; 3 game win streaks, nothing more than that consecutively
