I agree, when he played fourth line minutes, in a fourth line role he look "okay". When he played important minutes, power play, penalty kill, really any actual important minutes, I wanted cry.
He is TERRIBLE AT HOCKEY! Open net pass, miss! Need to clear the puck, pass to the other TEAM! He is no longer a good hockey player. Why GG puts him out on the ice in important minutes is beyond me to the point I question GG sanity.
On the postives, Smith is playing Awesone (hope to hell he is not hurt).
He needed to clear the puck and passed to his own teammate who cleared it. He was out in important minutes at the end of the game and did his job just fine, so GG' sanity seems to be just fine as well. You have an opinion on him overall, that's fine. But you needn't ignore the stuff he did well tonight. He was just fine tonight.
Hamonic has been more and more impressive in an quiet and understated kind of way. Seems to do all the little things right in addition to being very strong and physical. I don't think it's a coincidence Brodie is starting to look better free-wheeling a lot more as a result.
Gio looked like one of the best d-men in the league tonight. I expect him and Dougie to continue where they left off last season and if Brodie and Hamonic keep it up this d-core is looking scary.

These games are seriously as important as winning the cup. Dont skip any pregame rituals! We gotta keep the curse alive! #### the flames!

I think tonight is the night. Sadly

Guys, it’s my birthday and I will be truly devastated if the streak ends today.
PRAY TO SAINT PERRY, WE ARE THANKFUL FOR DADZLAF.
PS Happy Thanksgiving, fellow Canadians!
My dad can beat your dad up

Can we have Getz back now? He loves beating Calgary.
Quote:
Ryan Getzlaf the Flame Slayer
Quote:
He's up in the rafters as one of the greatest Calgary Hitmen of all time... He runs that city
Quote:
Stoked to have Papa Getzlaf back. May the streak live on! Lets Go Ducks!
Gio to Tkachuk: “Hey, watch this”
Quote:
Don’t call the vicious crosscheck/high stick combo on Perry in front of the net, call the cross check by Perry when Giordano goes down like a $5 hooker.
Quote:
Giordano is such a piece of crap, happy to slash and cross check but soon as he gets one he hits the ice so hard
Quote:
The whole team jumped out of their seats on the bench to point out that penalty.
Quote:
Three clear penalties on Calgary ignored, then the instigator not called.
**** off, zebras. If they're cheating, call it.
Quote:
Sorry guys, I forgot to pay the refs today.
Quote:
Calgary just being Calgary

Giordano is such a piece of crap, happy to slash and cross check but soon as he gets one he hits the ice so hard

Gio is such a bitch.
Quote:
3 missed calls on Perry alone!! Which ref forgot their glasses?!
Quote:
What a #####. Start #### then start crying when you get hit. #### you.

Of course it’s a penalty when an Anaheim defender pops a Calgary player with a cross check in front of our net.
Quote:
Gio is a saint and would never commit a penalty like that, Perry probably put his face into Gio's stick because Perry is literally Satan.
Quote:
Giordano is a POS. Didn’t pet Corporal Nero. “Accidentally” kneed Cam. And can’t even fight his own fights.
Die Hard Hatreds
Quote:
Glad the fans remember the Gio hit on Fowler, nice booing
Quote:
I’ve honestly forgotten how much I hate the flames.
Quote:
Forgot what a dumb ass little team they are.
A trickle of nervousness sets in...
Quote:
Smith still looks pathetic
Quote:
Smith holding that glove out...get yo hand back on that bottle. Got carried by the posts and your D-men, as usual.
Quote:
Waiting for his inevitable idiotic move, and hoping that we are able to take advantage of it.
Quote:
Exactly what I am waiting for. It will happen, it always happens
Tkachuk follows the captain’s cue
Quote:
What did the little POS do to poss Getzlaf off?
Quote:
He said he likes his new haircut.
Quote:
Not a very bright play there captain
Quote:
Tkachuk is the love child of Sean Avery and...Tkachuk, I guess. Like if Keith Tkachuk was a way crappier way more annoying way less fat player. He'd be his own son.
Quote:
How much longer until Tkachuk starts getting the Perry treatment where he can’t draw a penalty to save his life and anything questionable he does sends him to the box?
Quote:
Tkachuk is such a perfect player to sum up Calgary.
Monahan extends PPG streak vs Anaheim
Quote:
well thats annoying, chance after chance for the Ducks then the Flames score on their 1st chance
Quote:
damn. Monahan on the PP… never would hear about it
Quote:
That was also not good defense.
Edit: Ugh. Worse on the replay. Manson turned it over.
Quote:
Speed teams kill us and we don't have the way to beat them.
Quote:
Yikes. Gotta tie it up now.
Backlund: “It’s Happening!!!”
Quote:
This is the Flames' Stanley Cup
Quote:
Why was Grant out there
Quote:
Shot blocked. Shot blocked. Shot blocked. For ****s sake
Quote:
Cannot buy a goal.
Quote:
Hard to score PP goals when you don’t put your scoring chances on net.
A great evil has been unleashed
Quote:
Well the streak had to end at some point, were pretty beat up so whatever. Seeing Grant on the PP at the end there....yikes. isn't he the guy that hasn't scored a goal in the NHL? We need to get healthy fast, and actually have some skill infused into the lineup. Seeing Grant and Boll out there is just awful.
So I was watching with the sound off, was there any update on Kase?
Quote:
Congrats Flames
Not watching, can’t bear to see them happy. Lol.
Quote:
That's cute they got all excited like they won't a playoff series
Quote:
Just not for us tonight.
Gibby killed it. The rest of the teams just didn’t have it.
F WORD BXA.
Quote:
Are they acting like they won the Cup?
Quote:
LOL, when it’s not your night, it’s not your night.
Quote:
Enjoy it now Flames because you’re getting swept in April.
Quote:
noooooooooooooooo the streak is oveeeeeeer! only took a 43 save shutout against a depleted line-up.
Quote:
Only took injuries and a wildfire. Guess we'll just have to beat them in the playoffs again to reassert dominance, if they make it.
Quote:
Yakupov scored twice in a 4-0 win over Boston today.
Quote:
Toronto beats Chicago.
Calgary about to beat Anaheim at the Ponda. **** night.
Quote:
The Flames beat a watered-down Ducks team to end their 53-year losing streak in Anaheim.
Quote:
So Chiarelli put us in cap hell in the future and did it without upgrading the roster. ****ing idiot.
Quote:
Loling at the lucic and drai contract amounts. We look rotten. The leafs spanked the jets too
Quote:
Calgary’s gonna break the Honda Center curse too.
Quote:
Yeah, we have to stew in a pot thinking about this one for 5 days.
