Sadism & Puns

Hope we get torched.

Add in Vancouver beating NJ.

All right, well make sure we lose. I’m going to go see Captain Marvel.

Lundqvist needs 2 more wins. I don't care what happens in the other 10.

[Wait, what? WE WANT A LOSING STREAK!

Happy St. Paddy's weekend you ####ing goons
What's everyone drinking

This game has 7-4 written all over it

I am at the game so they will probably get shutout

We actually played really well the last time we saw these guys. Rittich had 41 saves and Gaudreau had 41 points.

That's the last time we played good.

Rooting for a draft position

Tanking Edition Dad Jokes

Watching this pre-game, I really want goals from both Mika and Kreider tonight. They need to “Find the fire” again.

Thats fine as long as the team continues....

To go down in flames.

We have a lot of offense from our defense? That's news to me...

edit: oh wait, think they were talking about the Flames

Retro Night Rosters

Being a 90s kid, seeing nameplates like Tkachuk and Lemiuex again gives me the feels.

Expect big time games from Lanny McDonald, Joel Otto, and Joe Nieuwendyk.

Dark horse Jamie Lundmark

Willi Plett with a Gordie Howe hat trick.
Kent Nilsson and Guy Chouinard pot 2 each.
Jim Craig in solid between the pipes.

Flames win 5-3. Buch gets a hat trick.

I can't believe that an absolute PSYCHOPATH CRIMINAL like Lemieux didn't get the book thrown at him for that HEINOUS AND DESPICABLE act.

It’s unbelievable. I know very little about the x’s and o’s of the game but it is so obvious. He is always on the ice when the other team scores.

Our defensive rotations are so bad. I feel like we get beat with a puck over the top every game at least once. Someone needs to stay back if Pionk is driving forward like that.

Johnny Hockey stealin goalie's souls with that move.

Ooo that was dirty

Sweet Jesus that was sexy.

Johnny Gaudreau so hot

Pionk can’t let Gaudreau get behind him, needs to have the awareness to not let that happen. He waited a split second too long before peeling back.

Disgusting move by Johnny though.

I can’t even imagine a Ranger ever scoring 6 points in a game.

Gaudreau's ability to look-off his passes is scary.

Chucky with a Tip

Are there any more Tkachuk's left to be drafted?

we could get their cousin, Kevin Hayes

Calgary reminds me of Tampa Bay. Tampa Bay was down 3-0 against Detroit and they came back and won. I don't think they were really worried at any point. The Flames versus the devils a couple of days ago.... they were down a couple of goals if not 3, and scored 6 in the third. They didn't seem worried about losing that game they had the confidence that they would come back to win. They both knew they were decidedly better than their opponent and they came back and won the game. That's the difference between a really good team and just an average team.

Filip has just given up. There's like zero belief that anything will go right for him even if he believes in himself.

Damn, I get ice cream and the Flames start scoring at will.
I will remember this for future games (BRING ON THE TANK)

Tkachuk is a beast. Weren't there some people questioning his offense? He's hit 30 goals now.

Tkachuk, like a lot of guys in recent years, can easily be victim of people focusing too much on “skills” when they also need to account for how said skills translate into real-world, NHL-style competition.

I didn't realize how much someone chomping on their mouthguard makes me want to hit them in the face

Gonna draft such a good player

Hathaway All Alone

excellent

chytil...

What a pattern of atrocious second periods.

Chytil almost give and Chytil takeith away

cool, this is one of those “I turn the game on and suddenly nothing happens” games

Shattenkirk cant make that switch there with Chytil being the guy to cover. Kid's not ready for that level of decision making. That ones on 22.

I don't understand, how in the NHL, you do not have the presence of mind to look behind you... Puck watching

Really a perfect lesson for Chytil...

Sit him down and watch that tape.

That’s how the dman is going to play that with every forward. Recognize your mistake learn and improve

I hate how Chytil doesn't win those puck battles along the boards. He's got enough wheels and size, but always lets up.

Frolik gets a gift from Chucky

Oh Fil.

Jesus, Fil. Don't let him get set!

He could have grabbed a bite to eat with the time Fil took.

How do three Flames get open in the crease?

Tkachuk again, yep let’s just let him do whatever he wants

Was that the year they took Virtanen?

Juolevi.

Right junior team. Wrong guy.

Gotta be honest with you, I wasn’t a fan.

Had Tkachuk 4th, which in hindsight means I probably would’ve been excited and then disappointed if the Rangers traded up and then took Keller.

wish we had a good young player like Tkachuk...

4 point night for Tkaschmuck ... jeez

Chucky caps off a 5 pt night

5 points.

5 points now, unbelievable, wake the ****up

This is too easy. How many slam dunks have they had?

Considering he was picked 6th and we're on track to pick around there we'll have as good a chance as any

This is a top 2 team in the west. We were punching above our weight class for too long. This was bound to happen at some point.

They haven't played an A+ game, but Calgary is fun to watch.

If we didnt have good goaltending i would imagine the score would be scary

Flames outscoring Rangers and Devils 14-5 in the last 2 games.

Outside Help

Flames are not a playoff team, their goalies suck and they are prone to collapse as is evident by their 4 game losing streak at the most important part of the season. Johnny Shrimpy can shoot Gatorade on MoNohands and Lindhomely in the golf cart when they lose in 4 in the first round.

I'm hoping the Sharks win 1st in the Pacific. The Golden Knights would destroy the Flames in the 1st round.

Flames bowing out in 4 with a GAA of 4.50 would be so very very sweet

Lets go Rangers !!!

I have zero faith in you.

Lol flame commentators complimenting turtle boys diving abilities. Unreal.

What I wouldn’t give to swap Puljujarvi for Tkachuk. I know JP was the consensus choice but Tkachuk on McDavid’s wing would be insane.

Another easy win for the Flames

Gnashing of Teeth

At least a couple of the non-playoff teams better do to Calgary what Florida just did to us. Not counting on it though. Vegas here we come.

LGR<3

Well it looks like Calgary found their offence again

Gonna be a rough road to the final. Have to play Vegas and Calgary, then WPG/NSH/STL and then likely Tampa.

Steep hill to climb. The crazy thing is, it almost doesn't matter how well they play in the 3 series leading into the final. It's going to be a whole other beast. We dominated every round in 2016 until the finals and then got smoked.

My heart can't handle that happening again.

Must be nice to get to play the Devils and Rangers at home to help you get out of a funk.

Sharks need to sleep on a board. Toughen the vertebrae.
