Around the League Report

Spoiler!

It’s Happening!

GDT? At this time of year? At this time of day? In this part of the country? Localized entirely within a bubble?

Wow, meta-textual indeed.

It's been too long, friends. Way too long.

I was doubtful that we would get this far but it seems like the NHL actually did a good job with the bubble. Thousands of tests and no positives so far is a really good start.

Bring on the long weekend of hockey! TV will be on all day for the next 3 days.

A preemptive sign for Tkachuk because i know he's going to piss us all off more than a few times

Man still 11 hours to go... Hurry up already!

An actual game day... never thought I'd see the day again lol.

Pretty pumped for tonight.

A GDT!!!!

awesome.

The Wild West Prophet

I expect a fight in the 1st period. This is Western Canadian hockey after all.

The Murphy’s Law Injury

#### #### #### #### ####

Are you ####ing kidding me

5 months without sports for that wow

Tkachuky bitch free reign to interfere and run becuz he "plays hard"

Oh f*** not Bambi

possible disaster....55 in trouble

f*** off Tkachuk!

Welp thats a f***ing catastrophe. Holy ####.

Was just thinking boy I hope we get out of this uninjured...

The last time Chef got really hurt it was trying to avoid a hit... just take the hit .

Tkachuk running our stars. Someone needs to take him on and out. Our softness all year is well known by now.

Series over. Just take Tkachuk out of the playoffs. That should now be the goal.

f*** that rat

Tkachuk’s skate blade may have been an accident. But that said, f*** what any Flames fan has to say on that subject.

Half of their obnoxious fan base still think Wideman plowing that linesman was an accident.

Dirty play by Tkachuk ultimately wins the series for the Flames. Disgusting

Man I'm so depressed, I can't even enjoy the game now. Didn't even feel anything on the goal. I was just looking forward to hockey so much, especially with a healthy team for the first time all season. I hope Scheif is miraculously okay in a couple games and its not an Achilles.

When I saw Tkachuk go into the boards with Schief then saw Schief writhing in pain I almost threw my remote through the tv screen.

Chucky Lays a Beating

Wheeler needs some fisticuffs training.

Wheeler isn't a fighter that's for sure.

Ughhh Wheeler can't be doing that. We are letting Tkachuk win

Also, I don't feel I've had a chance to articulate this, but f*** that f***ing rat-faced f*** Tkachuk. And the worst part was him on the way to the box, trying to triumphantly wave his f***ing flow, like he's some pre-pubescent child trying to get another person's attention for the very first time.

Boy oh boy, had Chef better spring back to life after this one.

Tkachuk Has the most punchable face

For the first 5 minutes that scumbag Tkachuk ran every Jets player he could on the ice and sliced Scheifele's achilles.

Lowry better fight this clown before this game is over since he forgot how to shoot the puck.

All the Flames faces are so punch worthy

I think I really just started to really hate Matthew Tkachuk...

But damn I'd love to have him on my team no matter how much I hate him.

Without Scheifele we might be screwed.

Didn't think I could hate that f***face Tkachuk any more than I already did. Wow was I ever wrong…

A Moment of Hubris

Flames must be so bad that they are getting shown up by the Jets. Not many teams have looked this bad against the Jets who are usually under seige in their own zone by this point in the game.

Power-Kill

ANOTHER POWERPLAY I CANT WAIT TO WATCH IT FAIL AGAIN

How about some speed, Morrissey. This isn't a vacation.

Shoot. That’s twice now...

Stop. Dumplng. The. Puck. In. You. Cretin. ####s.

[quiote]I'll say it again. Dump and chase on the powerplay is ####ing annoying.[/quote]

Man, can someone complete a pass PLEASE

In that close and that clear....shoot the bloody puck

You’d think after the 4th PP they’d have realized it works better if you give support on zone entires instead of a letting a guy battle 3 flames in the corner

0/6 5 shots on the pp that’s pretty abysmal

Playoff Johnny Hockey ties the game

#### ME. Im havin a bad time

You knew that was coming, Flames have looked better in the second period

This game is so depressing lol

I thought I was ready for this emotional rollercoaster....I dunno now.

Calgary with 10 shots from the slot to the jets ONE (forgot the goal).

LOL JERTS #### ME SIDEWAYS

So Gaudreau hasn’t grown since peewee confirmed

Crash and Bang

Flames starting to crash and bang. I dont think we will have an answer

Did the injury to Scheifele harm this team's phsyche? We look like hot garbage. It's like they're all feeling sorry for themselves.

It's the Flames. They're mediocre. Deal with the adversity and fight back.

When teams start hitting us at every chance they can we usually fold up. It's not just the sheif injury.

Man the Jets look dejected, nobody has been talking on the bench since the fifth minute

jets need an ####### like tkachuk
also need about 3-4 nhl caliber defenceman

Reider, the Harbinger of Apocalypse

This is so ugly. We’re up a man and playing like we’re down

Holy fack Morrissey is so slow

f***ing deserved. Holy #### our guys suck. Helle, Copp & Lowry not included.

I don’t think it is possible to have a worse PP then we just witnessed.

At least the rugby is entertaining. Sigh.

Comparing these 2 PPs with Wheeler to the one without him.....

Looks like they got bad news re Scheifele during the intermission and the willingness to compete went away.

This team is hot garbage. Chevy can f*** off.

Terrible break re Scheifle, but the team has quit, and discipline is out the window, with stupid penalties. Disappointing.

Can we defer a pp?

can we go back to the first period what the #### is going on

Backlund’s “This Guy Scored” moment

Three powerplay goals for the Flames…
Does anyone still think the Jets passive penalty kill strategy works?
They can take whatever it is Maurice or Kompon has drawn up, crumple it in a ball and flush it down the effing toilet where it belongs!
It’s less the personnel and more the plan, it sucks and does not work!

Oh lawd...

We’ve given up.

Nice shot...

Of course he had all day...

This is painful
Very painful

What a f***ing joke for coverage on the pk.

Jets playing pre season hockey. Flames playing playoff hockey

This tournament is cutting into their golfing season, yah know?

If Wheeler flailing his arms at Tkachuk before he got body slammed wasn’t embarrassing enough the Jets disappeared in the second period as they’ve done the past two seasons!

I’m going to cry

That was one of the worst periods I've seen this team play in the last 5 years.

Absolutely brutal. So embarrassing.

What a waste of a Vezina season. Now I know what Montreal has felt like for years.

jets might set a record for ahl caliber players in a playoff series

This team looks totally lost out there and out of ideas. I don't even know where to begin. Like I get it, we aren't going to go far without our top 2 C, and our best player/defenseman retiring out of the blue and leaving us in the lurch. But can we at least not look this bad?

12.5% chance of solace

So, that 1 in 8 chance at Lafrenniere is a thing.

What 12% at 1st? Without Mark... take the 12%

Hoping we win this lottery

Lol so we have a 12.5 % at Lafreniere?

Lafreniere here we come! Awful special teams. Just awful.

Time to watch Lafreniere highlights

The Other Suspects

Bennett is pissing me off too

If we’re gonna get our ass kicked can it please not be against a team with Matthew Tkachuk and Milan Lucic and whose most skilled player finds sushi too complex to eat

Lucic is soooooo bad.

Really Tilted Ice

I just read somewhere else that we have 8 shots in total since the Scheifele injury. I'm going to find a way to irrationally blame Wheeler and "leadership" ability

Horrific lack of effort. Someone needs to be held accountable

Like what, we got 9 shots in the LAST TWO PERIODS?!

I dont think ive ever been madder after watching a jets game. This was supposed to be a playoff game and our top players looked like complete dog####. Why did they even bother showing up to the bubble, should have saved everyone some time and stayed the f*** home if that was the effort they are going to bring

I think they left their balls in their wives purse before they flew to Edmonton. lol

Maurice can't counter neutral zone trap hockey, every team in the league knows it. Break-outs from our own end and on the PP were trash - can't get any scoring chances if you can't even get in their zone.

Three Flames at the blue line and the Jets just start playing dump and chase hockey.

Abysmal zone entry.

Holy ####. I thought the flames were ####ting the bed in the first, but we really found a way to out bed #### them later. Rough times.
Really just hope no one was hurt too badly.

Wolven’s birthday powers

Appropriate ending. Empty netter off turnover

Not a great turnover there

Embarassing. Bunch of bums feeling sorry for themselves. Terrible effort

Yeah I'm not prepared to credit the Flames anything. The Jets may as well have pulled a video game style putting the controller down and left the room in protest, the way the played. They looked disinterested and uncommitted. A university team could have pulled out a win tonight.

No, this game is an indictment on the Jets management, coaching, and leadership , or lack thereof, from guys like Wheeler.

That was the worst ****** game of hockey I've ever seen, injuries included. I can't believe I waited for this ****.

What a f***ing embarrassment. That was a walk in the park for the Flames.

That's what happens when you replace size and aggressiveness with small skill.

I want to see some real change to this roster in the off-season, definitely not built for the playoffs.

Well at least we have a shot at Lafreniere, he wouldn't have mailed in the rest of the game.

Pathetic.

That giveaway in front of the open net really sums up this game

I would call this a half-assed effort but it seems entirely assless

Well that was awful. Jets looked bad, especially on special teams, couldn’t get a zone entry on the pp. The Sheif injury took it out of them, and we might be ####ed

Ultimate Horseshoes Championship

WTF Jets have 2 shots and no goals?

uh oh Schieffele looks bad. Tkachuk of course. f*** that rat.

Of course the Jets best player gets injured 2 minutes into the f***ing series.

Flames have horseshoes up their asses.

f*** Wheeler you have to take him out!

The only thing that can make today better is Calgary getting f***ed.

So dirty Calgary is

I assume there was a dirty play of some sort by the Rat. I didn't see the replay. Its like magic and nobody can see it except maybe Penn and Teller.

Le sigh.

Ah f*** you Hobbit. Jumping around like he just won the f***ing cup.

And hey NHL - f*** right off with that Flames YaHooooo and Johnny B Good #### in our rink.

Gaudreau acting like he won the cup

You know, I remember rookie tkachuk humping Davidson in a pre season game and injuring him, attempt to slewfoot drai and only bouncing off of him, unnecessarily slewfooting former Oiler Martin Marincin literally in the last second of a game, running Kass, now probably matt cooke’ing Scheifele by hopefully not slicing his achilles. He always goes unscathed and finishes the game like everything he does it acceptable. I don’t f***ing get it. Watch that piece of #### score an Important goal and have these toothless clown flames fans tell us that everything is okay, that we’re just mad and that we’re overreacting.

Shots were 7-1 Jets. Now 22-12 ####heads. Jets wake the f*** up. Do we need to get the Avs in here to show you how it’s done FFS?

Oh, NOW he scores

f*** off Reider. You couldn’t score a goal all year and you score there? JFC

Jesus Christ Rieder is gonna have the game winning goal isn’t he.

Calgary just ####ting on Winnipeg too

Rieder? The guy who out up a f***ing bagel while here?

Today can get f***ed. 2 more hours of it only.

I’m starting to think that hockey is bad for my mental health .

JFC what happened to the Jets in the second period!?!? Can’t pass to each other, slow in thought and action, give up a shortie...that 1st period intermission killed the Jets’ game

Lol they f*** up their best forward, now they’re globe trotting the Jets. I’m okay with the jets losing if it comes to that, the Phlegms will never get past anyone in the next round.

Jets look awful.

I guess that’s what happens when your best player is targeted 2 minutes into the series.

The Flames sacrifice kittens and are devil worshipers. They don’t believe in hockey gods.

Flames are a team of degenerates. Always have been, always will be. If there was any real justice in the world, they would never be allowed to win anything.

So they cheap shot Laine now? I guess that's the only way the Flames can win.

Come on... Laine too. Jets fans must be incensed

So Laine and Schieffele injured on dirty plays by Flames so called “leaders”. The league just looks blindly on this Flames team because of their incessant whining to Bettman.

Mark Kneeorslasho

Calgary is like that villain in 'rasslin who has the brass knucks hidden in the tights or a foreign object. They can't without using dirty tactics.

What a terrible day to be an Oilers fan.

I think I would try to ingest some of that Lysol I have been stocking up on.

Tkachuk now doing the Gee Golly Whiz it was such an accident. I feel terrible wink wink wink interview.
