I think someone does kick him every time he goes "Anaheim Ducks gOOOOOal".

I still feel like we need more snipers on our team. Maybe it's the way the ducks neutralize quality shots from us, but I honestly see the team trying to deke or pass their way out of situations where shooting would be viable.

Hell, we're in the top eight considering everyone thought we'd be 28th so we have nothing to be ashamed of. Look the teams that are out - Blues, Predators, Islanders, Penguins and we bounced the Kings ourselves. We have a lot to be proud of actually. We're everyone's second favourite team because of our young guys, hard work, and culture. Go Flames!

Does anybody else want to punch that old guy with earbuds in the face when they show him pointing at the camera after each Ducks' goal? **h#*!

Old man doing the guns at the camera?

Yes, I've hated him for years.

He was also getting his grandkid to do it to . Now we will see it for another 60 years.

Bruce Boudreau always has so many nice things to say about the Flames. It's almost weird. Talk some smack or something.

[Camronius]

Positives; much much better game than game 1. 2nd and 3rd we were the better team, just couldn't seem to find that bounce or puckluck. Ramo amazing. Jooris and Bennett with good games.

Negatives; 1st period. Game was very, very winnable and we couldn't find a way to get it done. Not sure why Bollig was out there with 2 minutes left.... any other skater was a better option, so angry

lets go 2-0 at home and break the curse when it really matters

Has not worked well for other teams that play us. He seems smart enough not to rile up his opponents.

That only applies to the regular season.

I was making fun of him on Reddit and Ducks fans were getting upset with me. I guess he's the superest super fan ever. He needs a second celly. Not sure who I hate more, him or Eddie Lack's dad. Too much camera time for people who literally mean nothing.

Avoiding contact at all costs most of the time. Lazy play on the EN goal. Sure, EN goal, game was already over, but that's a pretty clear indication under stress of his train of thought; after losing the draw, he gets the puck and blindly fires it into a Duck, when throwing it along the side boards doesn't give possession away as the Flames had an extra guy. Fortunate, given his 2 slashes on Kesler, that he didn't throw that PP at the end of the period.

The second line is the first upgrade that the Flames need to do in the offseason; if Bennett's back at centre, so be it...if he's not, that line needs an upgrade.

[Philly06Cup]

New rule.

Ignore anyone who talks about the Honda Centre curse. As far as I'm concerned, *these* Flames have lost only 5 games in Anaheim. What happened beyond that is literally history. Anyone who keeps bringing it up as if it has relevance to this series is a dumb***.

Sports writers at least have an excuse: they get paid to publish words. Any fan talking about it is just rehashing something that needs to go away.

[calgarywinning]

Ramo was spectacular as was TJ Brodie tonight.

Not too much else to say, other than we are gonna have to win the next two! Let's do it.

[jayswin]

This is perfect, I hate winning series' in away games. Game 6 is the way to go.

[CaptainYooh]

I thought our small Flames played a good hockey after the 1st and demonstrated that they can keep big Anaheim at bay when they put the effort. That was quite a second period. If they play like this in Calgary with that same intensity we might see a surprise. Or two...

Offense needs to be better. I think he brings a lot to the PK and defensive side of the game. Can be a good 3rd line center in my view. Worst player on the ice? No chance.

Maybe there will be a earthquake that damages the Honda Center and they will have to play a neutral site game for game 5... one can dream right?
