Thumbs down The Flames have blown leads and lost in five straight games

What the hell is this? It's the opposite of what they were in 2014-15. This team is so mentally fragile and they get so hung up in their own heads that they can't do anything to hold leads.

Something needs to give.

Knights game - blown 2-1 lead, lose 4-2
Oilers game - blown 2-0 lead, lose 4-3
Kings game - blown 1-0 lead, lose 2-1
Sabres game - blown 1-0 lead, lose 2-1
Jets game - blown 1-0 lead, lose 2-1

Wasted year of up and down performances. This team is not even close to a contender

Something needs to give? The Flames seem to give in, on a regular basis

It's okay. Flames are still in a playoff spot.

Oh wait...

These games should never have been close enough to experience these blown leads. The coaching staff needs to go, and now.

I don’t know what changes can be made other than firing the coach?

What is that 0/12 in the last 4 games on the PP? They suck at home.

How can Treliving not put the heat on the coaches. TB and Chicago are the next two games. Probably will lose both of them.

Lack of killer instinct once again, have the Flames being the losing team for the night.

Actually, to be fair, they did show it tonight. Just to themselves.

Scoring less than 3 goals per game is not a recipe for success. The offense has really dried up.

It's so bizarre, it's as if they can play well to jump out to a one goal lead and then everything stops. If we're lucky enough to get out to a two goal lead later in the game (ie. heading into the 3rd), they seem to have the confidence to just play the way they usually do. But that one goal lead or even an early 2 goal lead has them playing like they know they're gonna let the opponent back into it and guess what, they do!

So frustrating, I need to stop investing so much.

Playing the long game, like the stock market.

Yes absolutely fire the coach for telling Brodie never keep your stick on the ice and never try and get a puck that is coming right at you. What was Gulutzan thinking telling him that. Fire him!

Other than the Oilers game, it's all been home games. Even the home games during the winning streak featured blown leads and lucky recoveries for wins.

TJ Brodie costs us every game?

This team is mentally weak and they have been since Gulutzan took over. 7 losses in a row to the Oilers, swept in the playoffs, blown leads. This team is weak and needs more than Beers on a train and a stick throw
