Post 173 has an explanation from the asshandler.

Wish people would stop responding to Johnny Makarov, he's on my ignore and when you quote him, I still have to read his non sense. He just like to stir the pot.

I think SS is one of the posters that have taken a step back over the toxic environment in most threads lately. I've been pretty close myself from logging out and taking a break for an extended period of time. The second anything goes wrong with the team, there's a parade of people falling over themselves to post about how much they hate the team and players.

There's a pretty clear group of posters that I would suggest enjoy trash talking the team following a loss more than they seem to enjoy when we win.

For the record said gif was not his this is the internet we're talking about, unless you are talking about the recreation version he did. If that was forced to be NSFW'd then yea that's stupid.

Still not a reason to leave IMO.

I hope this game results in the coaching staff starting to utilize Tkachuk more. It's completely normal and correct to build a young player's icetime and utilization slowly (not a criticism), but it's time to unleash him as our second best, and second most important forward.

Tkachuk is 20 going on 27.

Flames win one for Smith who had a rare off game...paying with emotional capital just like GG preaches.

Correct was referring to the internet gif he would always post, the same one you and I sometimes post now (tagged nsfw) in his honour.

# of NHL players w/50 points or more in 17-18: 33. Flames have two of them
# of NHL players w/20 goals or more in 17-18: 43. Flames have three of them.
# of NHL D w/25 or more points in 17-18: 43. Flames have three of them.
# of NHL G w/20 or more wins in 17-18: 13. Flames have one of them.

This team has the skill. It's got the depth. It just needs to put it together and be on a roll when the playoffs start.

Totally agree. Man oh man, I've been here for like two seasons now and I've never seen discussion as toxic as it's been here lately. Even when I first joined the site and I was (rightfully) being piled on for some ridiculous posts, it wasn't as unreadable and disappointing as some of the drivel I read here.

According to this site, the Flames have exactly three NHL-calibre players: Gaudreau, Tkachuk, and Smith. Monahan? He doesn't drive the play or defend. Backlund? He's slow and sucks with the puck and we shouldn't re-sign him. Frolik? Causes injuries and is somehow overpaid. Bennett? Barely AHL-calibre, can't do anything. Jankowski? Looking more and more like a bust. Hamilton? Doesn't drive the play and is soft. Giordano? Too old and his contract is awful. Stajan? Worst player in Flames history, so slow. Hamonic? Slow, worse than Engelland. And don't even get me started on Brodie.

It's painful to sift through sometimes.

He "stole" that gif from me actually. But I made it my "own" with editing because I think it's awesome.

[Shazam]

Well to be fair Stajan does suck.

The win/lose schism it not unique to this site or Flames fans. I think some people need thicker skin and need to let people vent after a loss.

[TheScorpion]

Stajan is an expiring contract and good penalty killer who is riding the lowest shooting percentage of his career while being stapled to guys like Curtis Lazar and Troy Brouwer. He's also looked much better of late. Doesn't stop dozens of inane comments in the GTs of how awful he is.

May be we are not watching the same Stajan, he did suck, but has been playing fine.

[Bear]

Worth noting that the 3rd line all had corsi's above 66% tonight.

Jankowski - 86%
Bennett - 79%
Hathaway - 67%

[nieuwy-89]

Nice comeback. Fun to watch a game with my family tonight and get a Flames win!

Flames really poured on the pressure in the third, could have had more. Hope Smith is OK.

nm.

This is clutch win for the team, despite of some earlier on adversities. I hope this will give them some confidence from coming behind...A win streak coming again

[Yrebmi]

So on topic but off topic..... Striker Steve is a loss to the CP community if he does not return. What about FlamesDraftWatcher? What happened to him?
