Not happening I’m afraid.

Terrible season.

If they lose all 31 in overtime we should be good.

By a few games you mean the rest of the year right?

I dunno, he's been ok this season, but I'm having a hard time really cheering for him because he just isn't fun to watch. With that being said at least he's noticeable. Huberdeau on the other hand might be the biggest bust of the offseason.

Might be? And Megan Fox might be somewhat hot.

[Ziggy Lidstrom]

Where has lindholm been all season?

Good game from Pelletier.

So many in zone turnovers and neutral zone turnovers. They look like they just got back from poolside in Cabo. Been typical defending from this group all year. Tanev is the only dependable defender right now. Weegar looked average again. Zadorov should not play OT. He was so gassed. Played that really poorly.

Coleman and backlund with eatsbread is our number one line. Idgaf what anyone says.

This team hates markstrom. That’s why he was at ranchmens and not in Mexico.

Hanifin with brain cramps again. Anderson looking like he doesn’t know how to be physical.

And where was the response by lucic or big Z for the trouba hits ? Pretty spineless team response. The two goal burst was fortunate but couldn’t hold the dam lead again. God I’m just so disappointed this group.

Save our souls M Bison you’re our only hope.

When the rangers are here next week I expect two things:
- Fox booed relentlessly
- lucic going right after trouba, not giving him an option not to fight and breaking his face

No

[Elkyiv]

the next 4 games are so winnable if they just get their game together and give Vladar the net. Markstrom's next game should be @ Arizona.

[TrentCrimmIndependent]

Give me 3 or 4 straight of Vladar

For my nerves and cardiovascular health

[soulchoice]

Kadri with brutal turnovers and a low percentage shot in OT, losing possession.

Huberdeau nowhere to be found during a physical game (Panther fans have stated such in the past, so I am not surprised).

Trouba with an impactful game two clean hits, did whatever he wanted out there.

For a truculent team, the Flames lost the physical battle by a wide margin.

Lucic, I love having him on the team, but, Sutter should have just tapped the shoulder and told him to do something, old school. Sutter is putting him a position to fail. Flames enforcers have always been beloved, and Sutter is making it difficult for him to play within his ability.

That point moved us up in the standings tonight.

So I would say, that yeah, a point this time of year can cut it.

1-0-1 on this road trip.

But not good enough for some people. Perfection only huh.

Math is catching up with the Calgary Chaos

[DropIt]

Play Markstrom 20 of the next 31.

If they cant win with him, they dont deserve it

[WhiteTiger]

Hell of a game.

Markstrom has got to stop it with the overcommitting on shots, though.

Why should Lucic even be in the lineup? When has he ever done his job?


Totally useless tonight and Darryl rewards him with ice time

38 out of 62 points is really not that tall of a task if you believe 96 is the bar.

He’s going to finish the season sub-.900. He’s just not a good goalie anymore.

Strange choice to make that comment after this game.

[SuperMatt18]

Rewatching the OT goal and maybe it wasnt Mangipanes fault.

Why the hell was Zadorov going behind the net there.

Exactly, he's a veteran that's not smart enough to pick his spots just takes a stupid penalty. If your going to take a penalty he should have loosened Trouba's teeth from his jaw.

WTF? He doesn't deserve to start even 10 more games this season.

[RedHawk12]

Think I might have preferred a loss. This team is not making the playoffs and will be drafting 13th again.

Forwards were all useless in overtime. I know Huberdeau hasnt impressed in his time here in OT but in the three seasons prior to this one he led the league with 13 OT points and was on the ice for 14 GF and 2 GA. Maybe give him another look.

Fun game overall.

Any goalie letting in 5 on 30 was at best average, but usually poor

He didn't help himself with the tumbling around and huge rebounds late

In OT with no screen, a goalie on his game would be vacuuming those pucks up
