We have been season ticket holders since day one. Have paid for them every year. Haven't given up yet... but I don't know how much more I can take.

Oilers are a team that puts up 2/3 goals in a win twice now they unloaded 7 on us . Bennett is really starting to piss me off with his bad penalties constantly Brodie has gone from looking like a stud last year to a dud. 3rd and 4th lines are useless most nights. Hard schedule ahead now looking pretty dim.

I agree, thus my first post. But your claim that the possession switched in our favour after the Oil built their lead is simply not true,

No shame in losing, but you can't allow a team to score a ####ing touchdown on you.

Just horrid. What an abomination.

The Flames should apologize to the city of Calgary and refund all those people that used their carbon tax rebates on tickets for tonight's game.

He is just frustrated, we are all human, I am sure you or me, have said or done stuff we really didn't mean in the heat of the moment.

Any chance you could just throw my name on your account before you go?
When's your season ticket relocation date Jan.1.?

I do think the Flames will be quite a bit better over this next stretch of road games.
They can't get much worse.

A road trip may be what they need right about now.

I'd be really embarrassed if I wasn't already over this season.

Ok Flames, you just slept through most of the game against the Oilers, you were soft and lazy and slow and you embarrassed yourself badly, I expect a big effort against a Red Hot Leafs team.

Agreed. Obviously VERY disappointing being swept by the Oilers this year. They will make the playoffs and perhaps comfortably. Too bad.

And we likely will not make the playoffs. But I do believe they are heading in the right direction. Just so many boneheaded habits in their game. Luck not heading their way, simple things not being done right. But it will turn around, maybe not this year but perhaps next. Flames need to end the year as well as they can even if they finish outside. It'll set the tone for next year and beyond. Finishing low solves nothing this year.

To make matters worse:

Stockton Heat ‏@AHLHeat 8m8 minutes ago

That’s it for this one. Frattin sends the bears to the ice, but the Heat fall 6-3. ☹️

A similar 6-3 loss for the Heat (against Bakersfield).
Maybe Huska didn't pull the goalie?

I agree they aren't getting pushed around at all

they control the puck

the problem most nights is they get out goal tended and can't finish

goal tender
high end RW
quality #4 dman

these would all go a long way

We don't really have a first line and lack of experience with that group of players doesn't help.
