I see the Oil fans are calling Johnnie a diver on the penalty. Without explaining why he'd dive instead of getting the puck and taking a pretty clear road to the net.
I do t think it was a weak call. It just wasn't a traditional trip. I think Huberdeau's stick pushed against Gaudreau's skate blade as he turned. Which is still a trip.
Thing is, that was the first call against the Panthers all game. Late in the 3rd. It wasn't like the Flames had the refs in their back pocket all game. If Oiler fans are going to complain about it, they need to make sure it's legit.

Time to suck this games dick! Take it easy on us, Calgary

Hate to be a downer
But I think we get absolutely trounced this game. Only way we beat the Flames in their barn is by trying to slow the game down to a crawl’s pace and win 2-1. That’s not going to happen, because we don’t know how. If we try to outscore this team, they’re going to win. And that’s what’s going to happen.
CGY dominant at home and a top-5 team in the league at home in SCSH% (Scoring Chance Shot ). We’re top-10 on the road in that department, about a 2 differential.
The key is we have the worst SCSV% and the third worst HDSV% on the road.
Also expecting our shot total to be somewhat from our away average, while CGY should stay relatively consistent to their average.
Nothing about this game feels good considering how we’re playing.
Quote:
I honestly doubt that if the panthers hired Housley that he’d be able to turn it around. it takes more than the head coach. Because of our cap situation this past offseason Tallon mostly stood around and did nothing with the exception of hoffman and Kiselevich additions but as I figured it wouldn’t be enough to turn things around. most people assumed by missing the playoffs by a point we didn’t need much but as I figured that was complete and utter BS. The goaltending got worse and the defense didn’t improve. Look at all the moves made my buffalo over the past few seasons. If buffalo had the same personnel as a few seasons ago do you really think housley would have the record he does this season? if you read my previous statements we needed not just the coach but goaltenders and different d-line personnel.

How about for next year we just try for 10-0-74. 94 points get us in?

You never know. This is a truly bipolar team. Every time I expect them to s#it the bed, they cut out my heart by giving me hope.
Quote:
I remember a crazy game here a couple years ago Florida won so maybe today won't suck
Quote:
We’re not ready to start for the 7/7:30 pm starts as we give up too many goals to start the game.
We were too tired to finish when we had a 9 pm start last night, as we gave up the tying goal with 8 secs left in the game.
I guess we just need every game to start at 8 pm Eastern time. Then it’s just right. We need a Goldilocks time to perform our best.
Quote:
So this team is in the worst possible spot it can be in as a franchise with only 4 years to get it right. Ownership better open their wallet to get a coach and better D and a true goalie. Might as well call Monty up in March and asses him at the NHLlevel.
Quote:
5-3 Panthers win.
D holds Calgary to under 25 shots on goal. Panthers down 3-1 and make the comeback sealing the win with an empty net goal.
Quote:
I can't wait to see how badly these losers manage to lose tonight.
At this point all you can do is be amazed at how they can pull it off night after night.
Quote:
Can I raise a serious question to all of you?
When DT hired BB. Who had what say over the hiring of the Assistant Coaches? This just might be the root of our problems this season, Did BB pick his own assistants? (Which he would feel most confidant in that they would follow his system). Or did Panthers Management dictate who his Assistants would be? I would really appreciate your input on this. I think that it is important.
Goalie Issues
Quote:
What we’ve all seen thus far
Quote:
Not good considering the Panthers are 6th best in the league in shots against differential +143. We need more than anything good goaltending.
Quote:
Flames have like one shot on goal? I mean at some point they're going to get shots and that's when we're going to lose.
“So that’s what it feels like”
Quote:
Wow
What a save by Rittich unreal
Quote:
Pot in with a great comment " Calgary with the great find, the goalie from Czech Republic " and there a big Canadian flag on the shoulder.
Quote:
Another massive save by Rittich. Deemed unsaveable by most on here but that’s what good teams get. They give up high quality chances and goalie bails them out.
Quote:
Rittich keeping the flames in this game making 3 or 4 huge saves already
Quote:
Another big save Rittich
Quote:
Rittich robbed the panthers twice already!
Quote:
Calgary goalie made some great saves to keep them in the game. What good goaltending does for a team it’s incredible. Imagine if they have Reimer or Lu? We would be up 4-0
An Old Friend
Quote:
If just half of our bottom 6 forwards had the defensive awareness that Brouwer does, we'd be such a better defensive team.
Everyone is in on the Neal Joke
Quote:
Holy ****, when did James Neal start playing for Calgary? Lol
Quote:
He hasn't.....
Quote:
I don’t think he has yet.
Goat Boy
Quote:
Wow dadanov is struggling and then barky won’t let one rip with traffic. Not sure what’s up with barkov but he has to start acting like a good player
Quote:
FFS Barkov shoot!
Quote:
Barkov, you...are such....a ****ing...loser.
Quote:
Barkov needs to be suspended
Quote:
You can just see it every night. He looks like a player who has way to much weight on his shoulders. He shouldn't be playing this much every night. Losing Tro just made it worse.
Also would of given the C to Yandle for a year or two before transitioning to Barky.
Quote:
I want to know what goes on inside the heads of people who watch Panthers play ice-hockey and come out with the thought "We should trade Barkov" "Barkov really needs to be better", when literally everything else is wrong. I feel like people do not understand the effect ass defense and ass goaltending have on everyone in the team.
Fear the Frolik
Quote:
that goal by Calgary was an unlucky deflection. that was a crazy shot like the one Borgstrom put on goal last night.
Quote:
While I don’t like seeing Calgary score, I always like to see Frolik doing well
Quote:
dangerous d zone side to side passing…yikes.
Quote:
You know what, I'm going to break out the paper bag next time I go to a game this year..
Quote:
Youd think after all this time they would learn to stop making stupid passes in their own end.
Quote:
Man that questionable goal gave flames life
Quote:
Frolik will single handedly beat us, well if there was a player who had to do it
Winning a Challenge
Quote:
2 goal lead, gone again.
Quote:
Yeah I'm drunk as #### and I wouldn't have ####ing challenged that.
Quote:
yep, and I’m not surprised. how many times have we already seen this this season?
Quote:
They gotta clean this up NOW or we're going to lose this before the last 8 seconds this time.
Quote:
I don't think it is interference.
Quote:
I think that's interference but I don't think it will be ruled as such. He impeded Lu's ability to get up into position for the shot, but it wasn't really big or forcible contact.
I think this one stands.
Quote:
Contact, but I don't know how the refs will judge that. I guess I do.
Quote:
No lead is ever safe with this trash team. **** them
Quote:
Calgary is gonna pump in at least 4 in the 3rd
Quote:
2nd is finally over…. oh how a lead drifts away quickly
Quote:
when it comes to the panthers, what a difference a period makes.
Quote:
Road game, best team in the western conference, tied going into the 3rd, I’ll take it.
Quote:
People mad at this game? Team is playing well. Dominated for 30 mins out of 40 against a good team. Two questionable goals against. What do u guys actually think a game is supposed to look like? It’s like u all are watching hockey for the first time
Tkachuk Spoils the Party
Quote:
Ha the exact same play on both sides of the ice
Quote:
They leave guys alone in front all the time.
Even if the opposition has 10 shots on goal if they get 5 breakaways we are going to give up a **** ton of goals.
Quote:
I’m watching this flogging live
Also Matheson looks worse in person
Quote:
Lmao a 2 on 0, one foot away from the front of the net.
Quote:
Tkachuk just pulled a Sasha.

Quote:
####ING HUBERDEAU….WTF!!!!!!! That was awful. the worst turnover of his career.
Quote:
This is really ugly fast, why are we passing to the guys in red sweaters.
Quote:
Why would anyone be a fan of this team?
Quote:
How many free passes on plays like that is Matheson gonna get...
Quote:
Theyre going to lose in regulation, aren't they?
Quote:
Story of the season right there

I saw it point blank as a sea of red jumped up around me

Empty Net…. that’s all folks!

I have zero problem with Huberdeau telling that joke of an official to go **** himself, tbh.
Quote:
How can the refs make a call like that effectively ending the game? It’s just a ****ing joke at this point
Quote:
Hubs acting like a sore loser. Just quit ****ing around with the puck in your own zone and this could've been avoided.
Quote:
I ****ing hate this team. Always too little too late.

I hate this team and I hate all of you lol
Quote:
Our goalies have won us 2 ****ing games.
Winnipeg and Detroit.
Our team has problems but dont give me that **** that we arent a playoff team with better goaltending.
43 games and they have won us 2 damn games.
****ing Dan Ellis won us more than that in 10 games. What the ****.

WE GIVE GAMES AWAY

This team has to become some other city’s problem. For some reason it didn’t work out here.

I’ve been through it with Quebec. I dont want to go through it again.
Shame on Johnny

The Panthers are a comedy of errors.

Watching Flames games is like that movie “Groundhog Day.”

Florida must blow more multi-goal leads than any other team. Seems to happen every other game with them.
Is there a site that tracks this stuff?

Not sure what the bigger shame us, he dives like a ***** or the refs call the penalty.

There is enough shame to go around.

I always forget Frolik was a Panther. Always think of the Blackhawks and Jets when I think of his career pre Calgary. I really hope whatever issues he and his agent have with Peters get sorted out because I do love that guy, a great utility player to have

Bennett - Jankowski - Neal were the only line to show up Period 1, and I thought stayed strong all game. I like the look of that line.
If we can find a way to add one more good piece up front, well...that sure would be something. Perhaps a nice veteran non-Bouwmeester defenseman as well.
I love this team.

Great hit and I loved Rasmus coming in to protect his D partner!
I liked Kylington stepping up and I liked the response too but when I watched it live and now even moreso on the replay, it looks like he leaves his feet there. But hey, I'm a Flames fan first and foremost and would rather them play slightly on the edge than butter soft. Always thought Regher's tunnel of death was generally borderline but man did I ever love watching opponents get wrecked in that corner.

I just noticed that Tkachuk is wearing the 'A' at home, did they switch just for this game or has it been like this for a few games?
I think they switched at the halfway point of the season. In the first half, Backlund wore it at home and Tkachuk on the road. In the second half, Tkachuk will wear it at home and Backlund on the road.
