[PGT] Flames comeback from being down 3-0; beat Stars in SO 4-3

[Samonadreau]

1st of all where has that team been all year?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??

2nd can we play at home every game?!?!??!?!?!?!?

[tvp2003]

Flames come back from three goals down. Monaclutch seals it in the shootout. Benn and Seguin combine for zero points, plus a miss in the shootout.

Winning is a helluva drug. Five in a row at home, including Chicago and now the conference leading Stars.

I'm going to celebrate by eating some co-op brand grilled cheese sandwiches!

For the first time I think this season, we had three legitimate pairings. I don't mean to hate on Engelland, I can't complain about his individual play this year as it's eleven times better than last year - but early on Kulak was a bit physically outmatched as #6 and the Engelland-Wideman pairing just never worked nor did Wideman-Russell.

*all of that happens*

"#### right of babe. I'm actually weirded out your creepy wizard!"

I did but I turned it back on after 3-2. I don't have the faith I used to with how horrible the goaltending is.

Around the League Report

Spoiler!

This is not how the #1 team should be playing

This is the best I've ever seen the Flames play and be down by 3.

God Ramo is terrible.

HEY MINNESOTA, YOU'RE GONNA WANNA WATCH THIS. YOU'RE ABOUT TO SEE HOW YOU HANDLE A THREE-GOAL LEAD

I'd like to see a smart 3rd period. Maybe cut our turnovers by half to just one million

The comeback starts

flames decided they wanted to play hockey

Niemi forgot the script

and i thought this was gonna be a nice relaxing game
sigh

The comeback continues

KLINGBERG ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME

Who knew 3-0 leads now are the most dangerous in hockey.........

God. ####ing. Damn It.
STUPID STUPID STUPID!!!!!!

some possession time would be a good start

SAVE US PETER PAN
guys peter pan is gonna save this game for us

Peter pan magic

Tie game

That comeback thing happened again. Only in reverse this time.

Of ####ing course

Flames better win it now though

And yet another game where the stars need to score 4 to win

man if i were Ruff i'd be pissed right now

I'M NOT RUFF, AND I'M PISSED RIGHT NOW

Shootout

Can't believe it
FFFFFaaaaaaahhhhhhhhkkkkkk

absolutely pathetic.
go feel shame stars.

This needs to be like a Herb Brooks moment

tell those guys to get back on the ice and practice all night. They didn’t put in anything resembling a hard effort for 40 minutes of that game, they need to make up for it after the fact.

Embarrassing. Utterly embarrassing.
That was shameful. Someone needs to go in that locker room and break some ####.

"But we’re 18-5-1 bro" I don’t care. The mentality that every pro athlete will tell you is "we’re just taking it one game…one period at a time." Well this game was a #### fest.

Why must Dallas lose to the worst teams?!

Completely handed this game over on a silver platter, in the third period. Ugh.

Get it back next game, please.

Seguin and benn disappeared that 3rd period. Worst game of the year by far imo.

That's the type of game with potential to turn a season around.

[chessarmy]

I thought Smid was fine for coming in after not playing forever. Ramo was fantastic in the OT period but some of the goals he allowed were still pretty soft. Raymond also turned the puck over way too much.

It was looking like yet another Flames loss after they went down 3-0 but they completely DOMINATED from the middle of the 2nd to the end. I'm very happy about tonight's win, but as some of you pointed out - this is just the beginning. They've looked good in individual games before this season but they've followed it up with a stinker the next game almost every time. If they're going to build on this they'll need the two points after this one, in my opinion it's a must win if they want to save this season.

Everyone played well other than a few players. Gaudreau, Monahan, Bennett, Backlund, all looked great. Hamilton was a beast, easily his best game as a Flame so far.

Huge win.

[Samonadreau]

I sware to jebus if they show us they can play like that and than go back to how they were the last 22 games i will get a hernia.

[tvp2003]

Oh, and LOL at all the guys in the GDT that had Benn and Seguin on your fantasy teams.

No soup for you...

I never turned the game off, but I did turn the volume to low and started doing a few crosswords.

Eventually I realized the Flames were playing better, and then was fully aware of the comeback, but didn't want to change anything and risk disrupting the mojo, so I paid as much attention as I dared while maintaining an air of ignoring the game.

I have Benn and Seguin..... i also have Monahan and Gaudreau, so..... Soup for me!!!!

[Aegypticus]

I just wanted to make one addition to the around the league report. u/h_smith took some #### on Reddit for saying this around the end of the 2nd:

HEY MINNESOTA, YOU'RE GONNA WANNA WATCH THIS. YOU'RE ABOUT TO SEE HOW YOU HANDLE A THREE-GOAL LEAD

[Lanny'sDaMan]

Dean did it for us in the pregame thread (even if he did scar Kenobi and Luke) so I figure we'll celebrate with him and his brother and angel too:

[Believer]

Wow Jamie Benn on overtime! LOL

[OldSam]

Jamie Benn sad. Good.

Has Hartley lost his marbles? WHY is Raymond out there in 3 on 3 when you have a rested Frolik, Bennett or even Jones?

Ramo made up for being awful in the first period by stealing the game in OT, but our goaltending is going to let us down this season. That first goal was bad and that 3rd goal was very very very bad.

Raymond had a good game. He is also really fast, which helps in 3 on 3.

[Samonadreau]

Those line combos were gold! Its weird cause Engelland was good so far......

[VANFLAMESFAN]

Totally moot but Why did Raymond get on the ice in overtime? I'm still perplexed by that one.
