[PGT] Kings 4 - Flames 1 - No Clinch

[smiggy77]

Big game and a bit of a preview of what intensity is needed for playoff hockey.



Horrible PP and we need to regroup from that. Let's take this as a learning experience and come back huge Friday.



Good on Iginla for a big game.

[TheScorpion]

That's three hours (three hours!) of my life I'll never get back. What a boring game.

[zamler]

big fat turd of an effort

[Mike F]

Not changing up the PP is complete incompetence by the coaching staff at this point; like, gross dereliction of duty.

The Flames have scored 9 times on their last 62 PPs, for a whopping 14.5%, good for 27th in the league.

Make a f****ng adjustment!

[GullFoss]

Iginla showed the flames why they should have made a bigger push to trade for him. What a legend! What a beauty! Would have been great for a playoff run

Flames played poorly facing a Kings team on a back-to-back. Sad! Terrible!

[JurassicTunga12]

It was a truly awful game for the Flames tonight. Really disappointed. Chance to clinch, back to back team. They play like total crap, and the PP did not help matters. Powerplay probably could have changed the game if they had scored once in 6 attempts, but no. Fix that ****. The game was totally thrown off by the bullcrap in the first. Learn from it, and the Flames better come out flying next game. Garbage stuff tonight. I haven't gotten mad after losses much this season, but I'm kinda mad tonight.

[Travis Munroe]

What was worse, our PP or sportsnet using 5+ year old images at every intermission? Cranes in place for Keynote haha

[FlameFan21]

[N-E-B]

Oh well. Let's clinch Friday instead, that way we can all sleep in Saturday and avoid working hungover!

[Inferno]

Terrible effort, I think they figured they just needed to show up and good things would happen.

[Erick Estrada]

First place in the division is looking out of reach with this loss. Man I hope this team isn't going to continue flirting with the 8th spot and a date with a team that's been even hotter than the Flames in the 2nd half of the season in the Blackhawks.

[Dion]

[Jacks]

Iginla will play next year and he will score at least 15 goals, probably 20.

[BigT112]

Gross game. Forget and move on.

[dino7c]

bad game move on

I wouldn't question the effort...it was just not directed properly

[skcli]

That was one brain fart type of hockey game. Stupid penalties by Chaisson and Bouma. Gio struggled all night too. Need to fix the PP, desperately. A well deserved loss, but move on and toast the Sharks on Friday.

[djsFlames]

I think people are overreacting to losses lately because of what's happening up north. Let's focus on ourselves right now and just relax.

As long as they sort out their bugs in these last few games and get themselves prepared for playoffs, that's what matters. Other pacific teams will lose too - they're playing each other now. So they'll most certainly have a chance to catch teams down the stretch if they get back to taking care of business.

I really hope the boys learn from tonight. Bring that quality of hockey they're capable of on friday. No more penalty parades, please.

[iamca]

Not really sure how to fathom the effort or game plan in this one. Unprepared?

[Allos]

Not a good game. We got intimidated, didn't play our game and lost. Learn from this and move on.

[bigrangy]

There might have been about 5 scoring chances between both teams tonight. Pretty boring.

Iggy is going to be back next year if he wants to be, he's got a lot left in the tank.
