Flames have been better in some if these losses than they were in some of there wins. But I don't doubt fir a second some bucking of the chemistry and injured players needing to find their game legs has a lot to do with it.

Watch the replay, that was a clear dive, he wasn't even touched

Disgusting...I hate that scumbag.

The only thing I can say is that the Flames decision making has been atrocious the past 4 games.

Yeah, except us eventually coming down to earth is why he had us in the 20's when we were near the top of the league. Now because of this he'll probably have us at 30th next week, and claim it's only a matter of time until the Oilers pass us.

It's not even the negativity, some people are negative and annoying. The worst is the guys who continually harp on the same subject over and over, thinking they're brilliant in the process. Make a point once, twice if you really want, then move on. Guys who just jump on the same topic continuously come across as boring and rather simple.

He hacked him on the shin, I don't think it was a bad call at all

2-0 breakaway against the Chicago Blackhawks. Yeah. Hiller's fault.

[IntenseFan]

Thing that bothers me is they have lacked desperation all game. They are about to get swept out of this latest "7 game series" and they haven't looked bothered all night.

Agree to disagree then. Obviously what you say is true however I still don't think the Flames have been playing a very good game, largely due to Chicago dominating the puck but they have not had the usual "umph" that they have had this season when in possession. The go ahead goal was due to the defensemen forgetting they had to you know, play defense and blowing the zone. I wouldn't blame a young rookie for trying to make something happen, the back end should have played a bit more conservatively on a tie game.

Oh well, not a big deal either way.

Johnny coming back with a vengeance.

I understand criticism when it's warranted... and naturally everyone has players they like and those they don't.

But what I don't get are the posters that seem to take great joy in being able to say "I told you so" every time we lose or something negative happens. Just a sad mentality as a fan IMO.

WHAT!?!

Hiller has been outstanding today, zero chance on either play.
