I must have been watching a different game. Flames were horridly sloppy - couldn't complete 2 passes (or even 1 sometimes) in the O-zone until later on in the 3rd period; gave away the puck over and over and over again; took too long handling the puck in their own zone (Smitty too!) and were lucky to be hanging on at the start of the third period. PP was atrocious - they should just go back to running their regular lines if that's what it takes.
They were full value for the last 10 minutes, and made more mistakes than a beginning driver in a rowboat for the first two periods.
Tiresome negativity? Really? You must have rose-coloured glasses, because the team that I watched came VERY close to losing that game until they woke up.
You make some good points but can't we just celebrate the win?

The worst of it was at the beginning of the game and the first half of the third. Have to give the Canucks some credit for clogging the neutral zone when they had the lead.
Still not the best game from the Flames, I agree.
Good thing two of our youngest stars came up clutch

... and you all laughed when Oilers fans heralded Gagner as a future 1C.
Quote:
So excited to watch Gagner play center.
Quote:
Have to give the edge to the Flames in this one...They played very well in their back to back against the Leafs and Habs....so they're firing on all cylinders..
The Canucks are not firing on all cylinders (one of the main ones is broken),however,I think that you will see a full effort from the lads tonight...Under Green,they usually follow up a poor effort with a good one...Some players need to step up ... Grandlund,Virtanen,Goldobin,Baertschi come to mind.
Quote:
Sam Gagner is so ****ing terrible I can't even wrap my head around it. Every shift he does something stupid.
Quote:
No Horvat so this gonna be ugly. Like hella ugly Flames on fire right now. 5-2 Flames our goals by Boeser and Virtanen
Quote:
was this Green's idea? Cause if nothing else this is definitely on the same putrid level as that mustache turd of a coach we had before.
I would call this line up hot garbage, but then it'll offend all the other hot garbage in existence.
I don't think I've seen a sadder pile of pig excrement in a long time.
We saved your spot

Edlers 4th penalty in the last 4 periods of Canucks hockey. Only 8 players in league now have taken more minors than Edler, who missed 12 games.
Quote:
Edler be like: Another one!

Another useless penalty by Edler.

Would it really be a canucks hockey game without edler going to the box?
Quote:
Edler with the mandatory penalty

This powerplay is brought to you by Edler's no trade clause

Brutal goal how does Fake Juolevi get so open in the 3rd like that

That's okay.
Just wait for Juolevi..
Quote:
Could feel that one coming a mile away. Just holding on and dumping the puck out
Quote:
This one feels like a regulation loss
Quote:
There's no way the Flames take the lead before the end of the third. This is going to OT and the flames will choke.

Blarg
It would be the ####### that got the tying goal, wouldn’t it?
Not too beat a dead horse but Tkachuk would look amazing in Canuck blue

We’re still relevant, really!

I think he has something like 11 points in his last 15 games. Funny what you can do when you’re not saddled to Troy “4.5 million wasted” Brouwer.

What a great interview with Hamonic on after hours. Really have to pull for this guy, he gets it in a way few athletes seem to these days. What a class act.

Sure - happy for the win; the right team came out ahead - barely. Just don't agree that it was a good game on the Flames' part and they were "full value" for it.

The stats strongly suggest the flames were good tonight
I agree they were sloppy, particularly the top line, but they carried the play most of the night

But they didn’t lose. They won! Don’t be that guy. Enjoy the win. It’s so much more fun.
