Try it sometime.

Good for you bud. Love for a flames win tomorrow but I don't got any confidence in them to pull it off.

But when people do nothing but complain with negative comments when we have the lead, it becomes annoying.

In the end tonight, you guys got your wish and the Kings tied it. Well played.

Oh please save us the lame crap. If you don't want to get called out then don't call out others. You could see this coming after they squandered the 4 minute powerplay. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that they weren't going to win this game scoring only one goal.

Neither team played all that well.

Flames hit two posts in this game. Very close to being a different game a couple times.

If you only score one goal and you dump and chase on a pp you deserve to lose.

It's the same ####ing thing.

If someone would have told me ten games ago that we were going to go 7-0-3 in our next ten, I would have happily taken it.

They’re playing well defensively but the offence has gone dry and the PP continues to be pathetic.

Beat the Oilers tomorrow please, that streak needs to end.

One could also suggest that the Flames overtime record was an outlier and they are coming back to the mean

I really noticed the Kings really played man on man in OT. Somehow they took away the ice and the Flames really suffered. When teams play in a triangle around the net, we dominate, but when the play the man, we well... not so much.

Brodie dumping the friggin puck sure didn’t help...

Lol what changes?
Both streaks are true. One isn’t more true than the other
They have points in 10 straight. That’s a fact

Brad Treliving and Glen Gulutzan. FIX THE MOTHER####ING POWERPLAY!!!!

Why?


He has been dog crap the last 4 or 5 games...right back to where he was when he started looking like more than a fringe NHL player.

He is making stupid decisions again, has zero offensive awareness at times and still isnt engaged physically like he should be.

[Infinit47]

Win tomorrow and I think we continue our upwards trajectory. Lose and I think we are on our way to a carbon copy of last year...lots of mediocrity and one winning streak driven by outstanding goaltending.

Brodie is playing too many minutes. How the coaching staff can't see that is beyond me.

[nieuwy-89]

Blown lead.
Special teams -1
No sense of urgency in OT
Can’t score at the Dome

Just frustrating to watch.

Again, saying the flames deserved to lose implied that the Kings deserved to win.

Both teams were bad. One team has to win. Tonight it was the Kings but certainly not because of overall merit thru 60 plus minutes.

[kyuss275]

3rd line is looking like the 3rd line of old that couldn't score or really generate any great scoring chances. 2nd line is missing Frolik. He really makes that line better.

I think that's your problem. It could actually ruin your day if you got invested in higher expectations. This loss doesn't ruin my day in the least but it doesn't change the fact that I have higher expectations of this team than you do.

You sound like guys did here after the second period. We have a lead, playing great and on and on...we got this. Losing wasn't even a thought.

Yup, that worked out well.

[Beninho]

Bennett producing at a lower clip than his rookie year, there has been zero progression from him. If he played like the player the Flames thought they were drafting this team would be one of the best in the league. Looks like a big effing whiff of a pick. Highest pick in team history too, just rough

[Flash Walken]

Guys, guys.

Look on the bright side. Bennett played 3:54 on the powerplay and only took a penalty during one of them.

Progress.

Sure, the team went 0/5 but I'm sure that's unrelated.

I freakin' love watching Doughty screw over his entire team with his descent in Tkachuk-induced madness.

Tkachuk has mineral rights on Doughty's brain.
