[PGT] Ducks eliminate the Flames in OT. A magical season ends...

[Francis's Hairpiece]

Well done boys. Pride in my team for their heart and determination.

Proud I'm not cheering for a team trying to lose enough games to finish dead last.

And so excited for what's in store next year.

[Erick Estrada]

They broke one streak in getting out of the first round but damn that Honda Center curse is strong as I was hoping at the very least if they lose the series that they break that but 0-3 and the difference in the series in that they just couldn't win a game in that building.

[BigBrodieFan]

Such an amazing season- thanks CP for making it so enjoyable. Had so much fun with you guys!

So proud of all of our kids!

Love you TJ!!! xoxoxoxo

[timbit]

A lot of promise moving forward.
Some excellent young players cut their teeth during these playoffs and the past season.
Been a very longtime since a Flames fan could be this realistically optimistic.
Hats off to you men.

[FurnaceFace]

Awesome season like everyone said.

Hartley wins the Jack Adams just for pulling Ramo aside at the end of the game and having the chat with him. Can we sign a forever year extension with him?

Damn proud and a hell of a learning experience for a young team. You now know what needs to be done to go further.

double post

[browna]

Ramo and Schlemko with some beauty saves there in Ot

Perrys knee looks pretty good. Thank goodness the refs didn't fall for his Academy Award performance.

[hummdeedoo]

Great team. Thoroughly enjoyed the season.

Thanks to everyone on the forum as well and esp. Cali and Sureloss.

Can't wait for next year!!!!!

[Bs&Cs]

It was a fun ride Flames but the future is bright. I think a cup within three years is likely.

Ramo needs to be resigned. He was lights out.

Looking forward to watching the Hawks roll the Ducks next round.

[LiquorPig]

Way to go boys. Tough loss but what an exciting year I will never forget!

[debil]

This "we werent supposed be there" is oilers mentality. We were supposed be there because we have skills and played with effort and intensity. Kinda dissapointed because this ducks team is very good but beatable.

[Sainters7]

We woulda beaten Winnipeg. Hell of a season, so proud of those guys. Bright future ahead.

And thank jebus it just wasn't Kesler, #### that guy

Ugh. Now I have to be a Chicago fan for the next round. Barf. Hell of a season flames. Hard to believe that's the third most successful season in 26 years. Was fun to watch an extra month of hockey. October can't come fast enough

[Imported_Aussie]

Let's be honest - for the vast majority of that series, Anaheim was the better team. Their stars are in their prime and they are well built for the playoffs. However, the refereeing was downright atrocious at times. Almost Detroit at the Joe Louis level of one-sided calls.
Flames far and away exceeded expectations, but it always hurts to go out after bad calls

[Hockey_Ninja]

Thanks for one hell of a season boys. Next year is going to be awesome.

[Incogneto]

I just have to re-post the open letter I wrote before the LA game...Nothing has changed. Love this team, and so excited for the future.

Dear Flames Players,

Before the biggest game in Calgary in I-cant-remember-how-long, win or lose, I just wanted to take a quick moment of your time to tell you how much I, a 12 year season ticket holder, has appreciated this team. But its been more than just your play. It’s your chemistry together. And your heart and desire on the ice. And how you seemingly play for the love of the game, for your coaches, and most importantly, for one another. All of these things have made this season the most enjoyable season since this franchise went to the Stanley Cup in 2004.

I love all parts of this team. I love your plucky, never-give-up attitudes when you’re down late in the games. I love a patch-work defence core that gave 100% all season, and even more once the heart was ripped out 19 games ago with the loss of your leader. I love guys like Kris Russell and Lance Bouma, who put their health and well-being on the line every time a puck is shot from the point. I love Matt Stajan for all that he embodies with the family issues he had a year ago. I will admit it, at one point in 2012 you were my biggest goat on this team, Matt, but you have won me over. I love Mark Giordano for what he did on the ice, but more importantly, what he is doing off the ice while recovering from this brutal injury.

I love the kids that have played the hard minutes. Jooris, Granlund, Shore, Porier, Wolf, but especially Ferland, because being from Brandon, I know who you are and how you grew up. I think your feel-good story is second to none, and can’t wait to see your continued progression into an everyday NHL player.

But most of all, I love the top line. I wear a #13 Gaudreau jersey every game which I purchased at the home opener. I was one of those fans that was so excited to see you put your name on a contract after the Frozen Four last year, and not only have you met expectations, you have blown them out of the water. Sean Monahan is just a beast! You were a beacon of light last year, and have developed into a star. This fan base needed someone like you to forget the greatness of #12s of the past. And Lastly, Jiri, I am looking at you. You are the glue that holds this team together. You are the bridge between old and new, and you are the one that taught this young team how to approach the game…With hard work and desire. I give you the most credit of all for the fact that in Game #81, we have a chance to go to the post-season.

So win or loss tonight, boys, I am so proud to call myself a fan of the Calgary Flames. Thank you for everything you have done in 2014-2015. Thank you for the blood, sweat, and tears you have left on the ice. I am only a mere fan, but I am a Calgarian, and I appreciate what you have done for this city.

Now go kick some King Ass!
Marty

Too bad that non-penalty at the end of the 2nd changed the game. Pretty sad.

It was he thought he was pushed. He could make a case not that it matters now it was Perry and he ran Ramo all series. Ala Red wings style great year for Flames fans tho . Still think the nd is tarnished due to the weak call on Backlund tho.

[troutman]

Go Hawks - whip the Duck-bags.

[sa226]

Can it be October now?

[To Be Quite Honest]

I'm just sad Flames hockey is over.

Thank you Calgary Flames for a season with no reason to not watch!
