Everyone knew that one of the teams in the race would regress from this ridiculous pace.

Unfortunately, its not the Jets or the Canucks. Its us. We were always the most likely candidates.

Brutal.

Ramo kept them in it until the third, where they have to be urgently looking to put that last 20 minutes in as it's all right there for them.

But, not enough gas left in the third as there's not enough players that can play at this level, clearly, for an entire season, and not enough quality reinforcements on the roster to be able to draw in to replace those guys...and that was by choice at the deadline.

This has been the season of surprises, and I feel that the Flames have one last surprise left for us this season and that is making the playoffs. Keep hope guys, it's not over till it's over

In order to finish the season 5-2-1, you have to lose two of the games.

On to the next...

Might be time to start Hiller, and by no means is that because of Ramo's play. Just would like to give him a break. Poor guy has been bombarded recently.

I'd give Ramo 3rd star.

Flames forwards hung the D out to dry tonight, way too many missed passes and soft turnovers on the walls against a good team. D & Ramo looked exhausted in the third...Get the next one...

lol, I don't know how you've come to this conclusion. You're basically saying he is incredibly replaceable and we shouldn't expect him to achieve much. The game just came off a 7 game (correct me if I'm wrong) point streak.

"at best a 4th line center" I suggest you re-think that...you are suggesting he is barely an NHL player

At best? No, seems to me he's a pretty damn good 3rd liner.

They are spent. The final score was flattering as they were totally dominated. Can only lose two more games.

Would it kill you just once to be positive?

God you're miserable.
