[PGT] Flames beat Kings 4-3 in OT

[Karl]

Brouwer stood up for a teammate. It was the proper thing to do because of the heat of the moment and context of that particular situation and it wouldn't have mattered what else happened after that.

It was the RIGHT thing to do there. End of story.

Spoiler!

Your reputation precedes you, good sirs

I can't stand the Flames. As a long time Kings fan I've always hated them. Their fanbase always thinks they're better than they are.

This exactly, and even more so now that crybaby Smith is in net for them.

Just win boys...and pummel tkachuk

Please please please let MacDermid destroy Tkachuk

we got this ####. #### tkachuk and mike smith!

#### Mike Smith.

Tkachuk is not the only flame to dislike there smith and glass as well Let go Kings go

Smith sucks..!

ok MacDermid looking at you this game big time. Your here for ur physical play show it on Tkachuk . Big test tonight imo at home we should do well. Go Kings Go

There is no way Tkachuk is going to go with Big Mac. He wouldn't even go with Clifford.

Kill him.. Kill him now.

Hoping the boys can make time to get 2 points in the midst of all these plans for Tkatchuk.

Blood for the blood God, skulls for the skull throne!

“What’s the first word that describes Jagr?”

Apparently Jagr is in tonight

Jagr is old.

Old man Jagr...

Super-pest Tkachuk scores

Sure Muzzin, just let him skate right by you.

aH crap! I hate that guy.

What the **** is Muzzin doing? Seems like for every good thing he does, he follows it up with something completely idiotic.

What the hell was that Muzzin?

Come on we can't be this ####ty right?

Johnny’s laser guided pass to Frolik

Well, least the Kings looked good for two games.

Muzzin again. Then right through Doughty’s legs. Yikes.

You could see that second goal coming a mile away. Let's see how this crew responds being down 2 goals.

I can't tell if we are passing directly into their sticks and skates or if Calgary has activated Matrix mode where they predict where we will pass every time

Can't believe our first loss is going to be against these bozos

And ****ing Muzzin

The problem is Muzzin, again. He fails to cover his man for a second goal in a row. Easily the most clueless player on the ice.

interesting fact: last time the LA King's scored on a PP, my wife was pregnant*

*my wife was never pregnant
**i don't have a wife

why does every game against calgary have to be an unmitigated disaster?

The one guy no one likes

Gary Bettman just annoys me. Always sounds so insincere about everything he says.

No one can boo Bettman since there is no live audience so if you folks don't mind, I'll do the honors.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I was about to boo at work but I thought it would look a little weird on my part.

It’s been a while

Kopitar and Brown scoring goals at the same time?

Brown is back.

Brown is vegeta confirmed.

Goku = Kopitar
Brown = Vegeta
Carter = Piccolo

Super-pest ties it back up at 3

Oh come on Quick.

Not a great goal for quick there.

tkachuk celebrates like it was the cup winner

kid's such a joke

My god Muzzin, you must of taken the stupid pill before the game

Tkachuk is gonna be a pain in the ass for a lot of years

someone's going to unwillingly push his teeth down his throat and he'll tone it down. til then.....

Tkachuk looks like the type of guy that would have fitted perfectly in the WH with the Penguins yesterday

just has that kind of face

Not sure why people are dumping on Quick. Give Tkachuk all that space and time, he's gonna get a good chance.

how does his mouthguard still hold up

Tkachuk is a such a ####.

I hate Tkachuk so much, arrogant weasly ####.
He's worse than Perry... he idolizes Perry, nuff said. Ughhh..

I wish someone would clock kuhchuck with his stupid mouthpiece out

He looks like a child as he chews on it

Kings still won't do anything about Tkachuk.

tkachuck is a subhuman pos

The fans are turning on you

Stop jawing with the Ref, Drew.

Come on, Doughty!

Drew you dope they don't call that if you shut your yap earlier.

Sometimes Doughty just annoys the hell out of me...

whooa Doughty has alotttttt to say to Cockchuk

I'd say we have a real rivalry developing here.

Matt Tkachuk is a ****head, but would take him on my team any day.

Doughty either needs to fight Tkachuk or shut his mouth

This last period felt like a playoff game. That means the Flames are eager to move up on my hate list.

Mr Clutch Sean Monahan

#### the flames, dirty ####ing pieces of ####

What a horrible trio

Nice work, Stevens. Put your grinders out against their top line.

beaten by the flamin' flomos

shame on you kings!

**** Tkachuk and the Flames. There hasn’t been a round one except for a bitch made being dirty.

Thanks for being nice...

I hate to say it but the Oilers could sure use someone like Tkachuk on their team right now .

I'm not saying he's better than Puljuiarvi it's WAYYY too early but I can't help but notice Tkachuks tenacity.

LOL Tkachuk trying to rip Quicks mask off. Oh boy can't wait until that guy gets his.

Brown too. Two pukes in Brown and Tkachuk doing pukey things. Makes for a fun game.

Flames may never lose again.

Ref's hand was already up. Brouwer didn't just rob us of a power play - his actions allowed them to continue with a man advantage. But for Smith's stellar play, he could have cost us two points.

Brown just skates up and dumped our Captain.. Regardless of what went on between them prior, someone had to do it. I'm sick of watching player take liberties on us and getting away with it. I was more than fine with Brouwer retaliating

[chummer]

Was at the game. That display by Doughty was unbelievable, it kept going on and on. Even King's fans were wondering what the hell was going on

I would think a prospect like Valimaki would hold a lot of value for a team looking to get younger and with a horrible backend now and going forward. Obviously we'd have to add more, but I was just throwing something out there

I guess I'm in the minority too. I thought the Brouwer play was pretty bad.

Yes, he stuck up for a teammate, I get that, good for him. But it was a tie game late in the game and the play he responded to wasn't really that bad. And the call for a Flames PP was already made. I just wasn't a fan. It's great the Flames won in OT so we can look back on what a character play that was but I'm still not a fan. In the first period? Sure. In a blowout game? Sure. In a tie game late in the 3rd?.....not a fan.

For the record, I really, really liked Brouwer's game tonight. I thought in his role he was great. That one play, at that point of the game, I just wasn't a fan. Just my 2 cents.

You left out the fact the Flames would have also went into the OT on a PP. Sure, Brouwer stepping up is good and any Flames fan wants him to be the player he can be - and it may be a legitimate argument such a play inspires the team and helps momentum more than the special teams situation - but this situation in particular offered an advantage.

I think either perspective can agree to look at what Brouwer did and hope that it's part of an upward trend for #36.

Won't end up that high, but I expect him to be around 7-10th and near a PPG. And definitely higher than the overrated Draisaitl.

Never say never

Great game.... on another note, can we rename this forum Brouwer Puck? I don't think there's a thread in here where isn't mentioned.

I know we could have had a PP, but piece of crap Brown just shoved down our captain. Yeah, we lost a PP for OT, but Brouwer did the right thing retaliating imo. We’re showing others that we won’t take their crap.

[activeStick]

Jagr is the first Flame that I've seen opponents respect to that degree when he has the puck in their zone on the half boards. Johnny is close but i see opponents rush him on occasion. When Jagr had the puck today, the defending player just backed off.

[AC]

Let's be honest, the Flames 3 on 3 in OT is already a big advantage.

A PP can go nowhere quickly. The Flames score most of their OT goals on the rush for a reason, they know how to victimize a sloppy play.

... and Brown was getting called for it.
Now if Brouwer had merely challenged for a fight instead I would fully approve.

Any how - not that it really matters with how things turned out.

I get that point of view. I really do. I'm a big fan of sticking up for teammates.

But tonight, in this instance? A tie game, late in the 3rd, on basically a shove? When you know you're going on the PP? I guess I'd rather just take the PP late in the 3rd and into OT.

If the Flames lost would fans like me sit here and say, 'hey they lost, but Brouwer stuck up for someone.' I wouldn't. I think I'd say 'wow, they were gift-wrapped a PP late in the game but Brouwer decided to take an offsetting penalty.'

Like I said: I thought Brouwer played quite well tonight. I'm not bashing his game. But I also see both sides. Just glad they won.
