Who cares what they said in the video? The real loser is the person who leaked it, and the I hope the poster who posted it is happy with all the 'likes' they got for it. Seriously, what's the point of even posting it? It's not news. It's a private conversation between colleagues OFF the record and it's creepy as #### someone recorded then posted it.

Much worse was said in this thread, and the game 1 PGT.

He's banged in a couple juicy shots on the PP but he's not playing anywhere close to the player he should be otherwise. I'm sick of watching him skate by guys and shy away from contact to the point where it doesn't even make sense. You don't have to go out of your way to level guys, but at least finish your check when the opportunity presents itself. This is the playoffs and your top line players should be leading by example. It shouldn't take inspired shifts by Versteeg and Bennett at the start of the second period to turn the game around.

Compared to 2015 I feel the Flames are still in this series

Agreed, Rick Ball was being a professional. He pretty much ignored the personal comments and just said a few words about the game.

Yup. If that was a media guy then there goes his access for interviews for brodie. Thats why the media throw softballs to politicians. They don't want to lose that access.

How so? Refs affect the outcome of games. Totally fair to criticize them

Calling other fans "losers" because they notice how bad the referring is at times is the behaviour of a true loser

It doesn't sound like anybody leaked it. It was a feed from Gamecenter that just wasn't turned off.

The guy blew it.

Getzlaf got credit for a couple of own goals and is the greatest player of all times though

Its total horse #### that we got leap froged by the Oilers cause we didnt lose as much as them.

Our best player is one of the all time nhl's softest players.

You will never have any type of long term consistent success in the playoffs with Johnny Guadreau as your best player. He isn't Kane, he has no concept of getting pucks to the net, it is all about the fancy play with him, that last play in the slot with 10 seconds left and not shooting is inexcusable. Absolute perfect 2nd line type player, but going up against an a-hole like Kesler (puke) he has no chance.

Props to Monahan though, he has shown he can take the physical play and not shy away.

Refs needed to put away the whistles and let the teams play. The last 2 calls were penalties just not with less than 5 minutes in a tied playoff game. Let the teams play. Need to be more than holding the stick in neutral zone or cross check as play is leaving zone.

If you're expecting Monahan to be physical you're going to be disappointed but Monahan has played an exceptional playoffs thus far. Fantastic in game one and really good in game two. His coverage in all three zones has been excellent
outside of scoring two goals.

My guess is that it was just recorded from the CBC's online feed, which sometimes catches this stuff between announcers during commercials. I don't think it was someone surreptitiously recording them and posting the audio. I'd bet lots of people heard it live.

Also I doubt they were mic'd, it sounds more like they'd taken their headsets off and they were just still live because someone forgot to turn them off.

Make life harder on Gibson. Get on top of him and get some greasy goals. They aren't generating enough. It seems like they are chipping and chasing a lot but with little possession.

I think Johnny should play right side on PP, he just seems to create more there. I thought on the whole he played better (as with Backs).

Its not good enough so far.
definitely need to make Gibson's life harder...

johnny had a better game than game 1 and i don't think it was quite as bad as some people are making it out to be.

Carlyle is big into line matchups... and the ducks are a big heavy team... hopefully, Gully will able to get some better matchups for Johnny/monny/Ferly at home.

i'll be interested to see what changes are in store... i'd be surprised if there were no changes at all

I have GC, sat through all the way until the ''game is over'' screen and nothing like that appeared. I must be doing it wrong?

But still, no reason to record it then post it.
