How many times this year have we said the Flames never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity.

Shees, people are being way too hard on the Flames here. This is far from over.

The Preds played some great hockey as a team, Saros turned up big when needed, add a couple of huge plays by Forsberg and a great home crowd in Nashville. That's how you turn a game around.

Plenty of hockey left, and it's been a great game. Enjoy it.

Ferland looks great with Johnny and Monahan.
Ferland is having a whale of a game.
Bennett love the passion taking on a player 25Lbs and 3 inches bigger.
Gio looks lost out there has not been a consistent leader this year and Brodie has pulled this clock watching BS at the end of period way too many times this season.
What a stupid stupid pass.
He has control NSH is backing out skate it out you lazy jerk.

Giordano gave him tons of room. The gap control there was brutal. Then he stood in the middle of the Flames zone covering no one.

Expecting a SV% of above 0.900 isn't exactly setting the bar very high. This team needs above average goaltending to succeed.

Is it just me, or does Giordano lack intensity this year? Looks so lackadaisical in his own zone when hes retreiving pucks

personally, i'd have preferred a horribly boring 5-1 win by the Flames...and a half empty rink by the end of the game.

Elliott made 4 excellent saves in the first period and then another couple in the second

I'm not sure why Gio escapes criticism and Gulutzan gets it all. This team's mental fortitude is non-existent and he's the captain of this goddamn team. This team Is young, it needs a vocal, take charge type of leader which doesn't his personality from what I can tell at all.

It's evidently way more fun to do the furthest thing from enjoying a game.

I get that this team doesn't inspire confidence, but there's still a whole period left.

A lot of us Calgary fans are like the team though, "they just crumple."

Equally sad.

Philadelphia last Wednesday for example?
