[GT] Game 5 - vs. Avalanche

[Haplo]

Backlund has been abysmal all series. Very disappointing as he's usually one player you could always count on to show up.

I started to lose confidence after the ASG.

I just had a friend, who's new to hockey this season (he's a football fan) ask me "The Flames know what a 'must win' game is supposed to look like, right? They sure aren't playing like it."

[Samonadreau]

You ####in kidding me monahan? start punching Barrie

[Coach]

Okay. Whats happening here with Monahan and Gaudreau is enough to completely change my opinion and want Monahan gone.

That's a pathetic reaction to someone mugging your smaller star player and supposedly friend.

Nope. Which is why I would never be doing the colour commentary!

Monahan might be the softest player I've ever seen

When you get pushed around by a team of mostly cream puffs you deserve to lose.

[Delthefunky]

Wow. Gaudreau getting worked and Monahan just standing there kindly asking him to stop.

[Yoho]

Way to get in there Monahan.

Top line completely disappeared. When our fourth line was winning ya games we were in big trouble.

[CalgaryFan1988]

Monahan has zero heart.

[Poison]

Dont have a thing against Peters. I would honestly trade Johnny, Mony and Brodie for a couple flank steaks right about now. So bummed. What makes it worse is this is who our ship is tied to for the next 5 years. Awesome.

I wouldn’t mind if Zadorov got chopped in the ankle

Trading a young strong core with great contracts is a knee jerk reaction to a bad playoff series.

2015 Ducks pwned Flames. (Round 2)

2017 Ducks sweep Flames. (Round 1)

2019 Avalanche semi-sweep Flames. (Round 1)


There's enough playoff experience to get an idea of what type of players you have when the post season begins

The core is not made for the playoffs, and needs some adjustment. Otherwise they're gonna continue to be first round fodder at best.

[GullFoss]

Janko is gone.
Monahan is gone.
Two defenseman are gone

A real number one center is arriving

No kidding. This series is a microcosm for the vast majority of the last 29 years.

I decided to take down my Flames flag from it's pole. If I could fly it at half mast I would.
Time to admit the Flames mojo got up and left in these playoffs.

They'll make the playoffs. But they'll never win a round until there's a culture change in that room. With the exception of Bennett, these guys always seem to collapse like a cheap tent when the games get tougher, and they don't appear to have any answer for how to push back. Sure we're more skilled than last year, which was super fun during the regular season. But this is essentially the same mentally fragile group from the Gully years. So damn frustrating.
