Once again the refs miss a blatant penalty against TB.

Instigator... Tkachuk interfered with right before the 5-4 goal...

Cool.

Wouldn't have mattered. Still would have lost with Smith in net tonight.

Actually this all started when Stryker’s post game gif got banned. Carma.

It's a six game losing streak in which they've blown the lead in each game. Maybe they have some valid concerns?

Pathetic coach.

I thought you said “you were out”? A man’s word is his bond, sir.

[dieHARDflameZ]

Remember when wins used to be automatic when we entered the third with a lead? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[Toonage]

So...on the off chance an entire coaching staff is fired between games...who runs the bench on Saturday?

Nope. We are still in this game if Gulutzan makes the change earlier. Smith sucked for sure but he was pulled too late. Christ GG hasn’t even taken a timeout.

I have respect for the Flames players who are still playing well and with heart

Not really it goes both ways. Lighting tie it 4-4 okay lets call a timeout, now Lighting score to make it 5-4 okay time to pull Smith. At 5-4 the game is still there to win. Now its 6-4 and 7-4 its done.

Why do they crumple so much, is it the players, the coach, the lack of Jagr, the arena situation, the phase of the moon, I don't even know

I just want it fixed so that hockey is fun again

A little bit of bad luck
Lack of confidence coupled with trying to do too much.
And all of that leading to a very vicious circle. Tonight, from what I understand (haven't watched the game until now) the team played well and now a rare off night for Smith.
They are in a funky funk.

When your GM gets outsmarted by Garth Snow...

Glen Gulutzan will coach this team for a damn decade.

[mikephoen]

Wow, this beat down is totally worth it to have Tinordi lifetimed! I’m no longer mad about the result at all!

[3rd liner]

to make matters worse the Mcdingleberries just tied the avs with 27 seconds left. The horseshoes that club has in their rectums is unbelievable.

It was 12 seconds into the period. They were not gonna call a timeout

They were silent during the fun well played parts of the game. It goes south and here they are, joyfully whining.

Tinordi's looking for a new gig.

[TheScorpion]

They're gonna get outshot on this powerplay.
