I thought Mangiapane’s ejection was weak. At worst that ejection should be enough. Five minutes is appropriate but not suspension worthy as it was pretty soft.
Should probably be 4-5 games suspension. Guy fails to bury a shot into an empty net because of a good defensive play and reacts by cross checking a player on the ice in the neck driving his head into the ice.
Both Zary and Pospisil had their share of setbacks in development, so it's good to see them make the show.
I've been a big Pospisil fan, and he's looked good when healthy, but had honestly thought his injury issues might have cost him an NHL chance with some younger guys surpassing him.
Happy to see him her an opportunity, a goal, and generally looked good

For the hat trick, wanted to throw kudos out to Zad God. After the cross check he immediately put himself in front of mang to protect him from being jumped. A great shot I don't know how to post here. Oozes character and team.
What a great place to go to a game, even better that we won!
Huberdoh was invisible, but Kadri and the new guys were noticeable, and the crowd was livid over the Mangiapane hit - thought it was a stupid play that he never should have made.
Love the arena and atmosphere here in Seattle. They may be a recent addition to the league but I enjoyed the game experience so much better than ours (sad to say). Food options on the main concourse were endless and top notch - Chinese, Mexican, you name it. They’ve really taken the whole nautical theme and run with it and it works amazingly.
But still - flames win, oil lose!!

I thought Huberdeau started strong and made a nice dish to Mangiapane for a goal but he missed the net. Lindholm also had a wide open net and passed it away.
After that Dube was brought up and it never worked out. He's been bad all season.
No one is working to create passing lanes and that's why he's forcing passes through crowds and it doesn't work.
You could see Seattle players trying to go into open lanes or draw a defender with them. We should try that.

You could see this win coming. Flames played a good game against Dallas, especially in the 3rd. Glad they got the deserved win. I feel a little streak coming.

He’s wearing a Kraken jersey so I like him. Also his voice is nice.

Tommie's the ####in' man!

He’s got lovely resonance
Quote:
Yeah, i always dig when he is doing the anthems. He will just fly through them, no frills, do drawing it out. Not sure why we even still do that before every game.
Quote:
Yep. Straight up and down, but still so talented. He walks down the tunnel waving to everyone too. It's very funny.
Curse of the First NHL Goal

The name Pospisil was created purely to attract cats.

Dunn just watched that go in with no hustle... wtf
Quote:
Where IS he, cause it ain’t here
Quote:
He's at the bank counting his money
Quote:
What the #### was that Dunn?
Quote:
Even the new, somewhat improved Gru is still good for about one stinker a game on average.
What the hell was that? Man, this is a winnable game--we can't afford this nonsense. Plus that might have been the slowest breakaway that I have ever seen.
Quote:
Unreal. Dunn just watches that go in. At least make it look like you're trying to catch up.
Quote:
Oooooooookay… two Flames beat the second Kraken back on that? This one has had a disorganized chaotic vibe to it all night, getting a little embarrassing
Quote:
The goal where Grubi starfished face down on the ice while 3 of our 5 guys didn't even bother to skate back to the defensive zone after the Flames was pretty emblematic of our season so far.
Hanifin ties it!
Quote:
This is not a team that looked prepared to play tonight. How can you be so careless and unfocused against a team with a six game losing streak?
Quote:
That’s kraken hockey baby..?
Quote:
You’d think the Flames are 7-2-1 with how they are playing. Which kraken team shows up is like playing a game of wheel of fortune. Majority of the team looks like they want to go home.
Quote:
This team has been so variable, chemistry feels lacking.
Quote:
I've come to dread second periods
Quote:
Are five-hole goals the downside to having a goalie who spends half the game doing the splits poor Gru. I still love you baby
For those interested, CV is beating Bakersfield 2-1 right now. Chris Driedger has stopped 11 of 12 shots. CV goals I didn't see who got the first one but Poturalski got the second
YEGOOOOOOOOOOOR
Quote:
I’m just becoming a bit dejected. Why do we have a couple nice looking games only to regress back into the team we were in the first few matchups?
Dunn, what’s going on with you my guy? You’re the dependable kick ass partner to your better half, Lars. What’s going on with the on again off again performance? I used to trust their line with my life but now I just get nervous cause half the games Dunner kicks ass and half the games it’s like he was sleeping.
Ebs?? HELLOO are you home??? Where you at cause it ain’t here. Been MIA all year
Matty, what do you need to get going? Sweet angel giraffe on roller skates. How do we motivate you?
Positives: Borgy/Riggy line, Schwartz, Tolvy Belly, Lars, Bjorky, Canner, Yams, Karts all doing a great job. Needless to say, Gru and Joey.
Dumo, Schultz, Shoresy doing ok. Dumo at least scores and helps set up goals. Wenny was a disaster to start but seems to at least be trying. Need to do better boys.
Quote:
Laziest defense I've seen. Gru is just left hanging out there. Absolutely gross.
Backlund’s first as C

KRAKEN WAKE TF UP

The book on this team appears to be “play a hard physical game”. There is no structure to the game they are play8ng this period.
Quote:
Might be the worst I have seen the kraken play in a long time
5 sog in over 30 minutes is insane

Too much hot potato, you get burned

What the hell was that Dunn, looked so lazy

Flames have been one of my most hated teams since year 1. Good reminders why tonight.
Quote:
We can't lose to this ####ing team!
Quote:
Good question John, where was everybody?
Quote:
lazy ass skating in the back, forwards need to do better than that, not the first time this season
Quote:
We just cannot play against teams that are grittier than us. We were physical, finishing checks in the 1st period, looked amazing.
Second and third everyone stops finishing checks, gets run over, stops shooting. Wtf
Quote:
Why are we ####in losing

God im really tired of the team leaving gru alone, they had to hustle there and didn't

Jesus just end the game already smh
Quote:
Was at the Game, left after the second empty netter. We’d seen enough.
Quote:
Leave it to the Kraken to be the team the Flames beat we look horrible tonight
Quote:
We look pathetic how can we lose to a 2-7-1 team very disappointing performance tonight we look horrible and deserve to lose
Quote:
Pretty lackluster effort against a team that's been bad all season. The kraken did almost nothing the final 2 periods until the very end with the goalie pulled.
This is the kind of loss that you look back on at the end of the season if you're a point or 2 short of making the playoffs.
Quote:
I'm so tired of losing to Calgary in our house!
At least the Firebirds beat the Condors at Bakersfield.
Quote:
That was really rough. Hoping they manage to sort out their game over the next couple of days. There were definitely some moments of greatness but those were outweighed by the bad.

We are at the point with a generational player that we are the underdogs against VAN next and their fans will be pissed if they somehow lose to us
That is where Kenny has took us

Seattle must be embarrassed to be that bad. Also Lolorado. Come at me basement troll lurkers
Quote:
There really isn’t much point in playing out the rest of the season.
Quote:
As horrendous as the Sharks have been... including back to back 10 goals against...
Oilers goalies have a lower save percentage... 86.4%
Sharks goalies at 86.9%
Sad.

Shut the season down and play in the bubble.

What a feeling it must be for Connor and Leon to be leading this ####show. As fans, we have no face to save. This must be brutally humiliating.

10 GA in 2 games in a row for SJ.
They are going to be mad.
