If "over the Hiller" doesn't let in that softie it's tied 1-1 going into the 3rd period. We can't afford to be giving up weak goals against an elite team.

Hopefully it's Ramo for the last 4 games.

Yeah, I thought that at the time. It was a tripping call, but you could have easily given Berglund a minor too.

Jones has been ineffective too but Stajan played a solid game

We can't afford those goals against any team.

If we have to play the Blues again even Ramo cannot save the Flames. It is a friggin firing squad at the high slot, face-off circle and down low.

The flames can't afford soft goals and stupid penalties, but they don't look like they think they can beat the blues. We haven't seen that much this year. Soft, scared and tentative.

Move on to Ed onion (ha. autocorrect for edmonton)

Cripes man. Why on earth do you think that is acceptable. The guy is stating an opinion about what he thinks about a certain team. Why not just debate him on that instead of throwing this out there too.
Knock it off.

[Bar-Down]

I hate the Blues. They play like crap for 6 games and the only time they show up is for both games against the Flames. What a joke.

I am hoping LA finishes in the wildcard (beating out the Jets) and upsets St.Louis in the first round. Screw em.

Makes me wish we still had Kiprusoff in the net.

Because the guy is a rain cloud and one week ago said it was all over for the team. I think that sucks. Big time. You seemed to think it was so uncalled for you gave me a warning for it so why quote it if it was that offensive?

I just don't see why someone completely gives up, tells everyone it's over, and then comes back to nit pick over and over. I think it sucks and said so. If telling him he sucks crosses the line, I retract it, but what is there to debate with someone who has that attitude? You just know as soon as we are out or eliminated he'll be there with 'told you so's'

Yeah... Kiprusoff was a god-send... won't get those very often. I think he kind of gets overlooked, but to me probably the biggest impact MVP the Flames have ever had.

So bad...

Yeah pin this one on Hiller...?

[JonDuke]

I think I was the only person in NB wearing a Flames jersey as I went out to the local watering hole to cheer on the Flames. Left saddened, but not necessarily surprised. Onward and upward!!

It's deflating to a team when your tender lets in a softie during the first few minutes of the game. Bingo you're beind the 8 ball before the game has barely begun and you're playing catch up. The Blues are too good of team to be giving up a soft goal and expecting a comeback.

Imagine going into the 3rd period all tied up and playing for that tie. You don't have to open your game up and expose your tender to more scoring chances by the Blues.

Flames just were not the best team tonight end of story.

[bubbsy]

Folks, this was the most difficult game on the schedule....

On to 2 teams that are epically bad. If we lose against those teams then we definitely have a problem. Go .500 in the last 2 games and think the flames are in good shape.

Too much freaking out after a loss. This is ALL gravy folks, enjoy it!

Remember early on in the season where Hiller stole us 2 points from the Hawks? Could have happened tonight if we had the same type of goaltending.
