I don’t know how some of you aren’t happy with this game. We had the game in hand minus two small stretches where the kings scored 2 goals each. We were dominating all night, we got the W, and we were smothering the Kings after we got the lead. A tiny lapse in judgment and average goaltending made this game closer than it should be.
it was a great effort, and they dominated for 55 minutes of it
some people can only see, and only talk about, the other 5 minutes - like the only win we are allowed to enjoy is one where every single shift is perfect

To be fair, that was only a big save because he let in other goals he should have saved. If that's the save to make it 6-4 who cares.
The Flames gave up 7 high danger chances, that's a pretty good night.
Gotta say, now that I’m back from the game, the only goal on him was the second. The fifth goal was both a rocket and deflected. The fourth was post and in and was also just a bomb. You don’t get a sense of the real velocity on those two shots on TV.
The Flames sagged from the four on four, which is a situation favouring the team trying to come back.
On another point I wish the crowd wouldn’t boo Doughty any more. It has a reverse effect.

I always thought the worst part of the flames winning was it meant CP couldn’t be endlessly negative. But this new standard of winning and negativity slaps.
I want Sutter gone and he can take Markstrom with him.

Indeed. You're playing against another team and they are pushing and pulling against you as well.
It's not like you're just competing against a static inanimate object or field conditions.

Move to Toronto.

Aren't you too old to use "slaps"?

I gotta say, people are whining about the 4th goal. If that’s a Flame goal we are all saying “what a snipe” or “what’s a laser”. Iginla scored those on the regular and we didn’t say it was on the goalie.

One nothing, three to two, six to five I don't care, it's another win and shows these guys are figuring it out, really all that matters right now. It will clean up, Markstrom will get back on his game just like the rest.
Clean, dirty, greasy I don't care how you do it Flames just keep bringing those Wins.

k im just not going to respond to your #### anymore because i have better things to do like #### my model girlfriend rather then try to convince people like you of commonly held hockey knowledge.
Defensive coverage needs to improve more than Markstrom does.
Markstrom hasnt been on point bit the chamces the Flames give up, Im surprised at how shocked some people are with the GA in a game
But as others have said, all teams give up chances. No game is perfect. But Calgary played a tight defensive game tonight keeping LA to the perimeter. This was a low chance evening.
