At least Hathaway is good at losing fights.

I picked up on that. But your consistent narrative around being a STH who isn't getting his money's worth and your belief that somehow the Flames have screwed the fans that did pay to go down to Vegas this weekend speak volumes of your entitled mindset. You really shouldn't pay to go see sporting events ever if you feel the team is going to owe you wins in return. In the long run, you'll constantly be disappointed. You should spend your hard earned money on something that will provide you with more joy.

Just got home, and decided to catch however much of the game is left. Turned it on, saw the score and turned it right off.

Flames Suck. Would be just fine seeing this team not win another game this year, watching the isles pick top 10 would be awesome while hearing treliving/Gulutzan/Burke talk like these highly intelligent nhl team building pros, yet with little to no personal success to show for it.

Don’t feel too bad about missing the playoffs. They’d just give us two, or maybe three extremely disappointing home game losses.

I second the idea that the jerseys are emblematic of this season. They had an opportunity to do it right, to wear the retros, to reach for greatness. Then they did the one thing they shouldn't. Repeat in every conceivable area of management and hockey operations.

Was expecting a tough fought OTL then an implosion in a should-win tomorrow to be the nail in the coffin. At least I don't have to be disappointed going forward.

There isn’t much else to do in this town with my hard earned money.

So exciting, watching Flames players shoot the puck straight into the crest on the front of Fleury’s jersey all afternoon!!

Would be nice... With the very little that flames fans have to take solace in at this point. Sabotaged season, poor home play, lack of picks and childish owner/city dispute going nowhere.

Take the first step in the right direction. No need to put it off.

Ummm no I don't. Rasmus Dahlin and Andrei Svechnikov are both potential franchise players. Filip Zadina and Brady Tkachuk are both potential all stars. This is no secret. It's well known this a great draft especially the top 4

Because Brian Burke expects us to have a certain type of big grinder on every line regardless of effectiveness. Make no mistake, as long as Burke is our POHO we will never evolve into a team that can keep up with the skill/speed of the modern game.

At this point, it's more about not wanting to see the Islanders move into a lottery spot with our 1st, for me at least.

I feel like we could play another 20 periods right now and we still wouldn't score a goal.

I got a bad feeling that the Smith and Chucky injuries might be an excuse for Gully to use down the stretch. I will not be paying for Center Ice if Gully comes back next year. I will be a fan, just a more casual fan. I really don't like Gully and I do not think this team can win a Cup, or even a playoff series with him.

We are getting dominated physically, not by speed or skill.
