It's not a curse.
Shut up. We already get your shtick. Stop throwing it everywhere just to try and sound like you see something nobody else here is.

The gap is not that large.

Minimum acceptable performance is still two wins.

Lack of discipline in crucial moments is killing us.

Would love a logical explanation as to why that goal didn't count. I knew it wouldn't because Flames.

I wasn't crazy about Bouma before that own goal. Ship him to the moon.

Brodie needs to be smarter.

Gaudreau, 0 confidence.

The NHL should be ashamed of the losers they had officiating tonight. They don't call anything all period and then make a call that could have easily have been interference on Perry.

Easy to want to pin it on specific players. The team has to step it up as a group as well as individually. The difference between us and the Ducks isn't that much.

Yeah the Hawks may have been a better foe, but if they can't win in Anaheim there's not much point advancing to the 2nd or 3rd rounds anyway. Win a bloody game in that city and move on for bloody sake.

I get penalties when you are working hard, but to grab a guys stick for no real reason and then to cross check a guy that is on his knees......

Maybe I am way off base, but I have higher expectations for professional hockey players whose backs are against the wall

I guess you missed the play where he rocked Getzlaf with the hardest hit he's felt in years. Ok then, continue with the hate. He's just gotta learn how to play against guys like Perry who dive at every chance.

I really don't think that "hold" was call worthy. It had nothing to do with the play of the game.

Are you for real? So we're just gonna ignore the two softies Elliot gave up? K. Flames needed those saves to win. You can't just outplay the Ducks for all but the first couple minutes and expect to win. This is the Ducks we're talking about here.

Time for plan B. Win out at home and force a game 7 to break the curse.

I was thinking Game 2 was a must win but changed my tune today -- t's not over until we lose at home. Especially with the effort we saw today. With consistent goaltending and better discipline, this is a 3-1 win. Let's do that on Monday.

Lets be realistic, this series is over. It is gonna be over in 5.

This is such a team with an effing loser mentality. At least the Oilers play with heart, this sad sack of players do not deserve to wear a Flames jersey.

Just when you think they can't find a new way to lose a game, they do. LOSERS!

I guess the Flames wont break the curse until Game 7! Seems that's the way destiny wants it!

The good news is that NHL teams come back from losing the first two games of a series 12.7% of the time.

Sometimes when you're watching a hockey game, you see a play and think to yourself "huh, you don't see that every game..."

But when the Flames play in that ####hole, you DO see #### like that every game! You see it multiple times every game!

The curse is real. This garbage just doesn't happen anywhere else. In no other building do the Flames play and I sit there and think to myself 10 times a game "I can't believe that happened. How did that happen?"

The odds are mind-blowing.
