Awesome to see the 4 line chipping in again. Hopefully it becomes more common than not as they've been kind of due with their strong play here and there.
Speaking of being due thanks to strong play, Backlund and Frolik getting on the score sheet is great. Consistently dominant night in and night out but only Tkachuk was putting up points consistently over the last while.
Calgary has lost 6 in a row. ###### Tkachuk is guaranteed to be extra ######y. Johnny Hockey is having a career year. Mike Smith having his best year since 2011. Dickhead Troy can step on a Lego. Don't have a great feeling about tonight.

I don't even wanna post the 3rd line. It's that bad.
Quote:
The #8 seed in the Western Conference last year had 94 points. The Hawks currently have 55 points with 31 games remaining.
In order for the Hawks to make the playoffs, they'll most likely have to win 19/20 games of the 31 remaining. It doesn't look good.
Currently, the Hawks would have the #9 pick in the draft (tiebreaker wins). If the Hawks go the other way, there's an outside shot to get the #5 pick (currently that pick is at 48 points). Seriously, the Hawks are on right in no man's land in regards to the playoffs or the #5 pick.
Quote:
Which Hawk team shows up tonight?
The team that gives 110% effort .... or .........the usual
Quote:
That third line...
You kinda just have to laugh at this point.
Quote:
I'm just really hoping it's Q's way of waking up Hartman a bit, and that Hartzy will still draw in tonight instead of he who must not be named.
Quote:
this team is toast .... when's baseball start
Quote:
Just another must-win. Every loss is a dagger from here on out.
Quote:
Just when I thought I was getting over the flu, Q rolls out this nausea-inducing gong show of a lineup
Quote:
I know the Flames are playing like crap but this season seems every time a team is playing poorly and allowing lot's of goals we end up losing to them. Has not been like this for many years.
After 3 cups guess we are just spoiled.
Role Players
Quote:
LOL Saad has less hits than Debrincat? Our power forward has less hits a kid half his size.
Quote:
That is embarrassing, if I was Saad and Cat had more hits than me, I would be ashamed, your 6'2 215, hit something. Your suppose to be our "Power Forward".
Quote:
Seabrook and Gustafsson have been a ****ing TRAINWRECK. All caps. Every team attacks him.
Quote:
Keith is the worst player I've ever seen with time and space. The best way to defend Keith when he has the puck is to back off.
Quote:
Awful period salvaged by Glass standing on his head and a nice play from Kane/Schmaltz.
Ultimate Antagonist Goalie
Quote:
13-64-48 look good again. I would be really curious to hear what Hino has to say about JC in Rockford because I think he had an impact on his game.
Mike Smith is not good and I can't stand him.
Quote:
I hope we put seven up on Smith. Can't stand him.
Quote:
Um... pretty sure I just saw Giordano's hand come across the ice to grab the puck
Quote:
did you see Smith come over there and get the puck from Giordano? shady #### right there
Quote:
Glass and Smith are kind of flopping around but it seems to be getting the job done.
Quote:
it feels like watching a tendy match-up from the 90s
Quote:
Please go back and play by Oscar nominee, Mike Smith.
Ragin Stajan
Quote:
What the **** is Seabrook doing?
Quote:
Brent. Seabrook.
Quote:
Seabrook with the situational awareness of a rock.
Quote:
Seabrook where are you?!!
Quote:
I want to die
Quote:
####.
Bad spoiler.
Quote:
As long as Seabrook keeps getting minutes, this may as well be a tank.
He can't play hockey.
Quote:
Maybe they should just give Seabrook the rest of the season off. Maybe he can hit the gym hard and come back at least a bottom pairing defenseman.
Johnny Hockey ties it up
Quote:
And now evened up.
Quote:
####ITY ####.
Quote:
The entire Toews line has been really bad tonight.
Quote:
Hawks, my squee is being harshed.
Quote:
For a coach who is supposed to be great at teaching defense he certainly hasn't taught this team **** this year.
Quote:
Holy #### Gaudreau is scary good
Quote:
Sucks but I'm trying to stay positive. :/
Everyone could use a
Quote:
We need a guy like Tkachuk.
Quote:
Saad - Toews - Tkachuk would be a line worth watching. No one could get a shot off against that line.
Quote:
Let's draft his brother
An old friend
Quote:
Bouma playing his former team again and brings what to the table Q
Quote:
No hits, awful turnovers, a careless penalty, no hockey sense, terrible hands, bad positioning. But that veteran presence.... woo.
Quote:
Sure glad Bouma is playing
Quote:
I like how Q plays Bouma against his former team, but sat Sharp when we were going up against Dallas. You're awesome Q...
Quote:
Fitting Seabrook, Bouma, and Wingels were all on the ice for that goal against. Total suck. Murphy with the turnover, Seabrook too slow to support him, or cover the guy in front. Wingels not covering anyone.
Frolik ties it in the 3rd
Quote:
Well that was easy.
Quote:
####! Keith couldnt clear the puck!
Quote:
Well, stop playing guys on their offside.
Quote:
oh man what a screw up by the d-man
Quote:
Bad mistake by Murphy there, but Seabrook was literally doing nothing.
Quote:
've accepted our fate this season and I'm fine with it.
Quote:
Bye playoffs. Hello draft.
Quote:
AGAIN?!?!?! JESUS ####ING CHRIST
Quote:
this team has no chance of making the playoffs with Q behind the bench, can't freaking believe Stan and McD are letting him destroy this team
Quote:
For the love of all that is good, PLEASE GO PLAY IN THE OTHER END.
Quote:
Im sorry but
You play the best ####ing players moving forward. Im tired of Q getting cute with the lineup this season.
The garbageman seals it in OT
Quote:
Monahan puts the dagger in the Hawks playoff chances.
Quote:
And there she blows!
\
Quote:
Say what you will about OT but my god either Q is failing to motivate this team to show up in a crucial game or the vets are failing to lead by example. 14 minutes without a shot in the 3rd is just a joke
Quote:
Que people on facebook saying "At least we got a point"
#### off! Should have 2 points but the team simply isn't good enough.
Quote:
Yep same here
Im so pissed that another game they should have won is pissed away because of moronic plays. It also didnt help the refs forgot to blow their whistles.
Quote:
Toews with zero effort on the backcheck. Loss. Called it.
**** this team.
**** Jonathan Toews.
Quote:
If Q is back next season I'm not sure it will matter much even if we get a top 5 pick. He has this team playing idiot hockey.
Quote:
As a Flames fan - If you fire your coach tomorrow, I will literally pay for his flight and hope he becomes our coach by the afternoon.
You guys have no idea how good you have it.
Quote:
Chicago's defence is a disaster, can't clear the crease if their life depended on it.
Quote:
The circus flames do it again! Lots of 3 on 3 in the playoffs eh boys
Quote:
Hawks are so completely useless. Is there any team they can beat?
Schmaltz or wtf his name is in OT on a 2on 1 with Kane and the idiot takes a nothing puff shot instead of passing. my lord.
Then Toews gets a chance but doesn't remember how to score a goal and flames finish.
The only good news being the Flames will be back out of a playoff spot in 20mins.
The Flames with a -3 differential somehow has 60pts. Anybody explain that? Plus do they play all their games at home? Seems like it sometimes..

Flames top-6 ran away with things. CHI relatively fortunate to get into OT.
Dimitri Filipovic
@DimFilipovic: Nice stat about one of the best two way centers in the game and also Jonathan Toews
Would be nice if things like the Selke were less reputation based where you have to earn your way to even getting top 3 voting before being seriously considered as a winner.

I couldn’t care less that Brodie got a point on a 3 on 3 play. He flat out sucks and has for two years now. He deserves a seat on the bench. At least Glen put him on he third pairing for a lot of the third. The onlly reason Chicago got a point tonight wears #7 in a Flames jersey.
The guy should be sitting in the stands next game if this team has any accountability.
