[PGT] Flames lose in shootout again…4-3 to canucks

[zamler]

Someone comfort me with stats. Advanced stats. The soothing kind.

[Rejean31]

What was with Zadorov just quitting on that breakaway chance in overtime? These guys look like they are trying get Sutter fired.

Are you kidding me? The bad teams might not be smoking the Flames but losing to them is pretty telling that this is a bad team.

Weird, I don't recall celebrating not being smoked.

Was just looking for clarification on the complete fiction that guy was spewing.

Kipper was abysmal in shootouts.

At least he didn't give up the 1st god damn shot of the game every night! lol

Martin let in two soft goals. I'm not saying the same about Markstrom tonight.

Martin was better in the shootout, but was not better on the night.

Listening to Wills and Muller you’d think we are soooo close.

[Harry Lime]

So, any Flames fans in this thread?

[TheScorpion]

Without getting into any minutiae, I think the Flames just aren't a particularly compelling team to watch at the moment.

Unfortunately Backlund is one of our most dynamic players right now

Wills has always been a pom pom individual. Nothing new there.

[Goriders]

I have zero faith in this team making the playoffs.

I didn’t even want to watch the OT.

Zero closers.

Huberdeau is soooooooooo sloppy.

The same ones that say Huby is top 3 defensive player in league...

Im sorry that was low.

[Sec214]

Imagine having two of your highest paid players getting paid without ever putting the jersey on, yet the GM plays penny pincher with all the people growing up in this org.

[Infinit47]

Would love to see one of the top 3 lines and top two d pairings get the offensive zone faceoff Sutter keeps feeding to the 4th line and third pairing. Would be amazing.

Keep drinking the kool aid.

This team sucks and so does the head coach.

Vancouver dominated? You're high my man.

Montreal dominated by winning in a shootout??? and another one goal win where the Flames got goalie'd. Flames actually dominated that game, but hey, why let facts get in the way of the fun you seem to be having being this great storyteller. So go off.

A bit of a losing skid and teams behind the Flames winning some games in hand... Top 5 pick is becoming very likely.

[ben voyonsdonc]

This team doesn’t have magic or a spark. They don’t have an identity.

I just miss Johnny.

Lol, no chance. They'll pick 14th.
